The Peanut Gallery

Statements, comments and forecasts that have no substance, but just might turn out to be relevant.

1.Once again CNN has shown its anti - Israel bias. They recently ran with a headline that the Israeli Parliament had passed a law requiring a supermajority vote (81 votes) to divide Jerusalem suburbs from the city as a whole. According to CNN commentators, this law is of major significance and would prevent a two-state solution from ever being implemented. What they did not mention is that this law could be repealed with a simple 61 majority in a Knesset of 120 members, making the new law only a symbolic statement of no importance. COMMENT: Perhaps this has something to do with a large number of Palestinian employees at CNN's Atlanta headquarters. On a more de facto basis CNN ratings are in collapse mode with CNBC taking over the leadership reigns of liberal media in the US. CNN should try reporting all the facts.

2. Trump tweet - "please inform him (Kim) that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!" - COMMENT: So-called intelligent people voted for this ""stable genius"...wow!

3.Globes: How do you know that a real estate venture in Israel is as real as Donald Trump's hairdo? You put Trump's name on it. It worked excellently well over the past decade; in 2006, it was reported that Trump would build the tallest tower in Israel in Ramat Gan (on the site of the Elite chocolate factory), then the mayor of Netanya said that she had met him in order to promote construction of the "Trump Hotel" on the Netanya beach. Then community leaders in Ashkelon, Israel's southern Riviera, said that Trump would build a giant golf course on the sands of Ashkelon, which would, of course, bear his name. Well, they said it. Fake news, anyone? COMMENT: Trump station? What a farce. Nobody is really planning to dig a railway station and tracks under 3,000 years of archeology. 

4.Three of Israel's top banks (Leumi, Israel Discount and First International) are currently led by women. So is the Bank of Israel. At Leumi 40% of top management are women. So is the supervisor of banks, the director of the capital markets, insurance and savings authority and others. COMMENT: #metoo

5.Less than a week after taking up her position as the president of the Supreme Court, Esther Hayut on Monday presided over a swearing-in ceremony in which several appointments were made. Of the seven appointees, five were women, prompting Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked to remark that 54% of judges in Israel are female. She also pointed out that whereas in Israel there have been three women presidents of the Supreme Court, the United States has not had a single female chief justice. COMMENT: #Timeisup

6.Shoshi Jambar, a 31-year-old Ethiopian-Israeli single parent, worked her way from office cleaner to manager at Israeli enterprise guidance and engagement platform WalkMe within three years. Jambar’s story is one of about 50 featured on the Women of Startup Nation Facebook page introduced in January 2016 to raise awareness of Israeli women’s accomplishments in high-tech. COMMENT: Apartheid eh?

7.Recently unclassified documents relating to JFK assassination reveal CIA arranged for Jordan's King Hussein to meet Jewish American actress Susan Cabot; two allegedly had an affair, and rumor has it Cabot's son—who later murdered her—was Hussein's illegitimate child. COMMENT: Wow! This is almost as good as the Steele Dossier. Read more https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-5072040,00.html

Don't confuse confidence with arrogance. Arrogance is being full of yourself, feeling you're always right, and believing your accomplishments or abilities make you better than other people. People often believe arrogance is excessive confidence, but it's really a lack of confidence. Arrogant people are insecure, and often repel others. Truly confident people feel good about themselves and attract others to them - Christie Hartman

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits - Albert Einstein.

Mr. Trump, If I wanted to kill myself I'd climb your ego and jump to your IQ - Planet Earth
