    Title of audio announcing new can be traced to 48.10. It's quoted in full later in the audio. Choice is significant 1/ Comes from "The Victory" chapter so creates positive spin 2/ Implies oath to new caliph = allegiance to Allah 3/ Promises reward for loyalty

    Isis appoints Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi as its new leader, Emir al-Moemineen (the emir of the faithful). So both the spokesman and the new leader of ISIS claim descent from the Meccan tribe of Quraysh. The spokesman asks followers to pledge allegiance to the new caliph

    No specifics given about who these two leaders are. But Baghdadi’s successor claims descent from the Hashemite clan of Prophet Mohammed; his title includes that. The spokesman’s kunya only says “Qurashi” so he’s from the bigger tribe of Mohammed, not necessarily the same clan.

    This is appalling: Beinart gets applause for saying 'OK, let's define antisemitism in a way that suits the far-left & anti-Israel-activists. He's also lying when he claims there's no consensus in the US Jewish community about whether anti-Zionism is antisemitism.

    So thinks that delegitimizing Zionism is just fine... As if that is conducive to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, Because delegitimization of the Jewish state's right to exist was so conducive to peace in 1948, and 1967, 1973, and the 2000s ☠💣 🤦🏻‍♂️👎

    Full statement on Israel's new foreign investment c'tee, in response to US pressure re China. To be clear, Israel is NOT creating an equivalent of CFIUS. New c'tee will be "advisory" and designed to "assist regulators." No decision-making capability, at least as described.

    Breaking with Turkey is the biggest geostrategic mistake the US could make. Trump seems to be the only thing stopping the break, but I have stopped making this case to my American friends. I would first have to explain to them what Turkey is and who has time for that?
