My thoughts on politics.
Israelis protested against judicial reform on Saturday night. The reform is meant to curb overreach, as justices are by law, allowed to overturn any government decision they don’t like. Israel now has a right-wing government and the court is packed with left-wing justices. When the court overrules the decisions of this government, they are subverting …
US Ambassador Tom Nides said that Smotrich is stupid and he would throw him out of a plane. American officials say they won’t meet with him in Washington, and even AIPAC won’t meet with him. Meanwhile, Smotrich had no plans to meet with officials during his trip. “AIPAC’s declining to meet with Smotrich is particularly …
More than 100 academics from across the United States have signed a letter asking the University of Chicago to stop the in-person, disruptive protest by Students for Justice in Palestine against a class taught by retired Israeli Defense Forces General Meir Elran.

The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal by the Arkansas Times on Tuesday in its lawsuit against the trustees of the University of Arkansas (U of A) after a longtime advertiser in 2018 called the paper to certify that it does not boycot Israel, as per state law. The ACLU, arguing on behalf of …

This time, the resolution is a demand that Israel drop the sanctions the Netanyahu administration levied on the PA, due to terror. While not all of them voted in favor of the resolution, …
According to media watchdog Honest Resporting, Britain’s National Education Union (NEU) is spreading lies and disinformation about Israel through its official magazine “Educate,” the NEU’s bimonthly magazine. In its most recent issue, the magazine lends credibility to one of the craziest antisemitic conspiracy theories around: that Israeli settlers train wild boars to frighten and attack …
Israeli Arab Aslam Farouk has confessed to carrying out two Jerusalem bus bombings that occurred in short succession and killed two Israelis, Tadasa Tashume Ben Ma’ada and Arye Shechopek. Farouk is a supporter of ISIS who lives in Jerusalem, in Kafr Aqab. The confessed terrorist just completed his engineering studies, but also spent time online …
The other day, the news was abuzz with the story: Al Jazeera claimed it had filed a lawsuit against Israel at the ICC. To be specific, the news outlet said it was taking the IDF to court for killing Shireen Abu Akleh. Reuters reported the story. Everyone did. The problem is, it’s not true. Popular …
Joint List MK Ayman Odeh refused to be photographed in front of a stand of Israeli flags and the Israeli Menorah symbol. All the MKs were having their photos taken as they arrived for the swearing in ceremony for the 25th Knesset, for later use next to their bios on the Knesset website. Not only …
