Israeli president calls for ‘renewable Middle East’ at COP27, but some call it a pipe dream David Isaac

Israeli President Isaac Herzog went beyond reaffirming his country’s 2021 commitment to fight climate change at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Egypt at Sharm el-Sheikh.

On Nov. 7, Herzog presented a far-reaching vision of a sustainable energy infrastructure serving as the foundation for Middle East Peace. In a spin on Shimon Peres’s New Middle East, he termed it a “Renewable Middle East.”

“I intend to spearhead the development of what I term a Renewable Middle East—a regional ecosystem of sustainable peace,” Herzog said.

“I envision that in the foreseeable future the solar energy produced in the deserts of the Middle East will be available for export to Europe, Asia, and Africa,” he said. “I believe that the entire Middle East, all Middle Eastern nations, abundant with sun and technology, will have the ability to connect the rest of the world to a magnificent source of renewable energy.”

Ambassador Gideon Bachar, special envoy for climate change and sustainability at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told JNS that it’s not just rhetoric. “Creating regional resilience to climate change, working together, collaborating, finding solutions between Israel and its neighbors in the region in general is Israel’s policy,” he said. He offered the water-for-energy agreement signed between Jordan and Israel at the conference as an example.

Israel is a relative newcomer to climate change. In June 2021, then-Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced that Israel would cut 85% of its carbon emissions from 2015 levels by 2050. At last year’s COP26 in Glasgow, Bennett upped the ante, pledging net zero emissions.

Israel debuted its first pavilion this year at the annual climate change conference, pushing various innovations. On Wednesday, the pavilion focused on Israeli space technologies that could address the climate crisis.

Democracy Dies When Americans Stop Scrutinizing Partisan Election Administration Democracy dies in docility. If we fail to demand of our leaders elections of the highest integrity, we will reap what we sow. Benjamin Weingarten

As we witness the mass breakdown of voting machines on the single day of the year they’re supposed to work, cameras going down in vote-counting offices, and the endless drip-drip of ballot dumps — curiously in the most hotly-contested races and most critical precincts for political control in the country — remember that this is all commonplace and normal. And if you think otherwise, you’re not only unhinged, but you might be a domestic terrorist.

This is the gaslighting we have been getting from our political class and the media over the last two federal election cycles. It is purposeful propaganda meant to obscure the truth that our betters have fundamentally transformed voting policies and practices, and then exploited the new rules to the maximum extent.

The reality is that those skeptical about the integrity in our brave new election world are not a “threat to democracy.” They are defenders of the republic. America is in serious danger if the public unquestioningly accepts the fact that authorities made radical changes, sometimes unduly and under cover of crisis, that made less safe, secure, or at minimum trustworthy the processes by which we elect our representatives.

For decades we voted one way: In-person, with identification, on a singular Election Day, usually with rudimentary, analog tools. With rare exceptions, we received the results on Election Night. In the 2020 election, that all changed. For the first time in modern history, we had a mass mail-in election, held over the course of weeks, much of it automated. The results came in over a period of days, not hours.

The ‘Shadow Campaign’ That Rigged 2020

Trump Rips DeSantis on Truth Social , as Political Feud Explodes Paul Schnee

Donald Trump’s record as president was astonishing particularly when one considers he was under constant vicious attack by the Left during his entire presidency indeed even before he took office. One has to wonder how much more he could have accomplished for America if he had not been subjected to a torrent of manufactured accusations and Soros financed subversion. He was a political novice but his instincts were razor sharp. He left America far better off than he found it. An honest comparison between his record and the blizzard of Biden’s bungles reveals the stark difference between MAGA and the leftocratic lunacy of leading from behind.

Trump believes he was cheated in 2020 by Basement Biden, the Deep State, Facebook, Twitter, the MSM, GOOGLE with its algorithms skewed in favor of the Democrats and the leftocracy who conspired against him and what should have been a stunning Republican victory. 

Reinforcing this belief was a signed statement by 51 former prominent national security intelligence officials stating that the Hunter Biden laptop revelations bore all the signs of a Russian intelligence disinformation operation. They were hopelessly wrong and completely dishonest. Not only do I feel Trump’s pain and profound disappointment I also share his furious outrage at being manipulated and out-maneuvered by a treacherous cabal of well-funded anti-Americans.

Alas, it has to be said that DT’s personal remarks about DeSantis described in the article listed above are pathetic, puerile and preposterous but they are worse than that; they are embarrassing. They are an unjustified and unnecessary attack against someone who has not attacked him and who he enthusiastically supported for all the worthy reasons which produced such an overwhelming and transformational victory in Florida for Republicans and the conservative cause on Tuesday.
