In staying true to his conservative roots, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to annex parts of the West Bank that include Jewish settlements. Around 400,000 Jews live in the West Bank and another 200,000 live in East Jerusalem.
This is a shift from Netanyahu’s previous stance, aligning with most members of his Likud Party as well as other conservative parties. It will help the Prime Minister form a coalition that keeps him in office even if his own party cannot achieve the necessary votes on Tuesday.
I saw people freaking out about this today and decided to wait until I watched the video. Unsurprisingly, it is false. The question was about annexing Jewish settlements in the West Bank, not the whole area. https://t.co/RsQp4tHtQM

Opinion
This is a partial annexation being discussed, but you wouldn’t make that conclusion based on the numerous left-wing news outlets reporting on it. As far as they’re concerned, Netanyahu is Hitler and he’s about to destroy the last breath of hope for peace in the Middle East.
There are many problems with this conclusion. First, it’s a partial annexation that would have been necessary in any future peace plan. There is no way Israel would force half a million of their people to relocate when they’ve already planted roots. Second, the Palestinian side has always and will always be the primary roadblock to any actual peace plan. This goes back decades when peace was offered, concessions were made, and the Palestinians continued to demand more before they’d stop attacking Israelis.
The broken-record nature of peace plans in the Middle East will never cease, not until there’s divine intervention during the Biblical end days. Until then, both sides will posture and position themselves, the United Nations will condemn Israel, and during times when there’s a pro-Israel President in office in the United States, we will be their lone ally. Otherwise, they’ll have no true allies. But they’ve become accustomed to standing alone against the world.
Netanyahu needs to continue to be Prime Minister of Israel. He has the fortitude and clarity of thought to keep Israel safe.

Final Thoughts
While news outlets and leftist social media paint this as a peace-killer, the reality is this has always been an assumed result of any valid peace plan. It’s a great political move and one that might be enough to save Israel for now.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
