Yair Netanyahu: 'Israeli media is ‘so radical, North Korea could take lessons’

Netanyahu suggested that media bias, both in Israel and internationally, played a role in shifting global opinion against Israel so quickly after the October 7 massacre.

Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, sharply criticized the Israeli media in a wide-ranging interview on Standpoint, a podcast hosted by Gabe Groisman.

"The legacy media in Israel is so radical that North Korean television could take lessons from them in how to produce propaganda," Netanyahu said, accusing mainstream outlets of bias and political manipulation.

Swords of Iron: The Response in Asia

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,236, November 22, 2023

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Hamas’s surprise attack on October 7 and the Swords of Iron War that followed have implications for the countries of the Indo-Pacific. On the one hand, China has clearly taken an anti-Israeli stance. It has essentially abandoned its neutral position in the region, stood against the United States, and strengthened the China-Russia-Iran-North Korea axis. But India, as well as Japan and South Korea to some extent, have stood by Israel’s side. This represents a clear expression of the (mainly security-related) rapprochement that has occurred among India, Japan, and Israel in recent years. It also reflects growing concern about the strengthening anti-Israel axis and raises questions about global stability and the future of Taiwan. Another issue troubling these countries is the potential impact of the war on energy stability.

Iran’s Global Terror Network Lurks Behind Its Threats of Vengeance

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,879, January 11, 2021

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Iran’s repeated threats to avenge the reported assassination of its chief nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was shot dead outside Tehran in November, raise the likelihood of Iranian armed action against Israeli targets. The threats also serve as a reminder that Iran has a long history of both sponsoring terrorism and actively engaging in it with its own personnel, and that it has spent decades building a global, highly active Shiite terror network.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who attended North Korea’s 2013 underground atomic bomb test, was responsible for the weaponization phase of the Iranian nuclear program,

Tiro al blanco en la Asamblea General: Apunten a Israel

Hace tres días, la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas declaró que Israel debe “renunciar a la posesión de armas nucleares” en una votación de 153 a favor, 6 en contra y 25 abstenciones.

Se le pidió a Israel “no desarrollar, producir, probar o adquirir de otra manera armas nucleares”, y “que renuncie a la posesión de armas nucleares y someta todas sus instalaciones nucleares no sujetas a salvaguardias a las salvaguardias totales del Organismo como importante medida de fomento de la confianza entre todos los Estados de la región y como paso para mejorar la paz y la seguridad”.

Naciones Unidas presume que Israel es una de las nueve potencias nucleares del mundo, pero Israel nunca ha admitido la posesión de armas nucleares y nadie lo ha demostrado. Hay ocho países reconocidos como potencias nucleares, cinco de los cuales han firmado el Tratado sobre la no proliferación de las armas nucleares.

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,795, November 2, 2020

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The vast, uninterrupted territory that contains North Korea, China, Pakistan, and Iran has greater geostrategic importance today than ever before. Of the two outermost countries of that territory, an anonymous senior US administration official recently said that “Iran and North Korea have resumed cooperation in the framework of a project on long-range missiles that includes the transfer of core components.”

On September 8, 2020, a meeting took place between Chairman of National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian Parliament Mojtaba Zolnouri and North Korean Ambassador to Iran Han Sung-joo. The meeting was held to discuss the launch of financial and barter networks between the two countries. US

Iran and the Middle East space race

As the world grappled with the coronavirus pandemic and oil prices hit record lows, and amid wider tensions with the United States, Iran successfully launched its first military satellite, Noor-1.

(May 3, 2020 / JNS) Israel is currently leading in the Middle East “space race,” but several countries in the region are quickly catching up; Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt are all developing their own space programs. Israel and Iran are among the dozen or so countries in the world capable of building their own satellites, launching them from their territory and maneuvering them in space.

Por qué el lanzamiento del satélite de Irán podría ser una amenaza para el 90% de la población de Estados Unidos

Según se informa, esta semana la República Islámica de Irán ha lanzado con éxito un satélite militar utilizando las mismas tecnologías avanzadas que guían los misiles balísticos intercontinentales (ICBM). El vicepresidente del Estado Mayor Conjunto, General John Hyten, no calificó el lanzamiento como exitoso, pero confirmó que el misil “viajó un largo camino”. No obstante, un destacado servicio de rastreo de satélites muestra ahora al “Nour 1” en órbita, lo que debería ser motivo de gran preocupación para los Estados Unidos.

El tipo de tecnología de misiles balísticos utilizada para lanzar este satélite podría lanzar armas nucleares, químicas o incluso biológicas para “borrar a Israel del mapa”, atacar

Los espías están librando una guerra en la sombra contra el COVID-19

Con la pandemia del COVID-19, los servicios de inteligencia serán capaces de proporcionar a los responsables de la política de información única -no disponible de ninguna otra fuente- sobre secretos de estado extranjeros relativos al virus.

La pandemia de coronavirus que actualmente se extiende por todo el mundo es más que una emergencia de salud pública. Plantea amenazas sin precedentes para la seguridad nacional e internacional, y su lucha, como han subrayado los dirigentes de varios países, se asemejará a una gran guerra con un número similar de víctimas mortales. Los servicios de inteligencia desempeñarán un papel importante en esta lucha, al igual que en guerras anteriores a lo largo de la historia. Ese papel se desempeñará en gran medida en las sombras, pero no será menos importante por su secretismo.

China ocultó el número real de muertes y casos de COVID-19, según Inteligencia de EE. UU.

China ha ocultado la magnitud del brote de coronavirus en su país, informando menos del total de casos y muertes que ha sufrido a causa de la enfermedad, concluyó la comunidad de inteligencia de Estados Unidos en un informe clasificado a la Casa Blanca, según tres funcionarios estadounidenses.

Los funcionarios pidieron que no se les identificara porque el informe es secreto, y se negaron a detallar su contenido. Pero la idea central, dijeron, es que el informe público de China sobre casos y muertes es intencionalmente incompleto. Dos de los funcionarios dijeron que el informe concluye que los números de China son falsos.

Tens of Millions of Europeans Have Demonic Views of Israel

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,494, March 20, 2020

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Tens of millions of European citizens have a demonic view of Israel. This manifests itself in a variety of ways, the most serious of which is comparing Israel’s actions against the Palestinians to those of the Nazis against the Jews. The demonization of Israel leads to antisemitic insults directed against Jews in general. The EU and its member states, but also the Israeli government, have been greatly negligent in dealing with this problem.

Nikki Haley's perfect interview about the UN

Nikki Haley is a powerhouse of a woman making a difference for Israel, and for humankind, at the United Nations. In a place run by tyrants, dictators, and human rights abusers, this is no small feat, but she is “turning the battleship around.” The place has not changed yet, but she has started the process. It is long and hard, but Nikki Haley is putting her foot down in a way that no American administration ever has, and she is making waves.

Mientras Trump se dirige a la ONU, otras naciones se ajustan a su política de “América primero”

Muchos líderes han “evaluado cómo tratar con el presidente”, dice un analista. “Serán amables con él en persona, pero crearán coaliciones para socavar iniciativas que ven como equivocadas”.

WASHINGTON – ¿América primero? Pruebe América primero, segundo y tercero.

Mientras el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump se prepara para su segunda Asamblea General de la ONU, las Olimpiadas de la diplomacia internacional, su administración se ha vuelto desvergonzada y profundamente interna, persiguiendo cada vez más políticas unilaterales en lo que los críticos argumentan es una gran retirada del compromiso global que había sido un sello bipartidista de los líderes estadounidenses anteriores.

La periodista española Pilar Rahola, que se desplazó a Montevideo para presentar su nuevo libro “S.O.S. cristianos”, dijo en una entrevista que “sorprendentemente en el siglo XXI vuelve a haber mártires”.

En este sentido, subrayó que hay 300 millones de personas cristianas que viven bajo regímenes donde tener esta religión es un “peligro de muerte” y que este hecho no se está denunciando.

Likud minister: Kim summit shows Trump can deal with tyrants; bring on Rouhani

Gilad Erdan says similar meeting with Iran's president would 'not be terrible,' as long as goal remains to end Tehran's nuke program and change the 'nature of the regime'.

A top Israeli minister and Likud leader praised US President Donald Trump’s summit meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, as “a tremendous achievement,” and said a similar meeting between Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani would “not be terrible.”

Trump’s North Korean Strategy is Terrifying Iran

The North Korean media reported Sunday that Syrian President Bashar Assad is due in Pyongyang for an official state visit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

Much of the instant media commentary regarding the announcement claimed that it is nothing more than a testament to the deep, long-standing ties between the two isolated nations, whose rogue behavior has caused both to be shunned by the international community.

The problem with this interpretation is that neither leader is isolated.

Bolton’s appointment is a brilliant America first move

President Donald Trump’s decision to appoint former UN Ambassador John Bolton to serve as his National Security Advisor is arguably the most significant single step he has taken to date toward implementing his America First foreign policy.

La contribución de los servicios de inteligencia de Israel a la seguridad de los Estados Unidos. Los años de la guerra fría

Israel y los Estados Unidos poseen una larga historia de una estrecha cooperación dentro de sus servicios de inteligencia. Aparte de proveer información estratégica y política útil, las guerras de Israel contra los ejércitos árabes armados y entrenados por los soviéticos proporcionaron valiosos conocimientos sobre la doctrina militar soviética y los sistemas de armas. A fines de la década de 1970 y comienzos de 1980, Israel hizo una contribución única y particularmente valiosa al arrojar nueva luz sobre los misiles balísticos intercontinentales equipados con armas nucleares de Moscú que amenazaban a los Estados Unidos.
