My thoughts on politics.
Amnesty International issued a report this week, damning Israel as an “Apartheid” state, using all sorts of lies and distortions to whitewash the totally bogus accusation.

We pay a fortune educating our children. Parents save and scrimp so their kids can get educated. But check and see what you’re paying for—our children are being bombarded with anti-Israel rhetoric, and being ostracized if they don’t go along to get along.

Israel has been watching with its heart in its stomach as the EU and US “politely attempt to reach a deal with Iran at the cost of an existential threat to Israel,” says former mayor of Jerusalem and Likud member Nir Barkat.

Brig.-Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesman for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces, called to eliminate the Jewish state during a Saturday interview with an Iranian state-controlled media outlet. “We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter.

From the official website of the PLC (translation from Elder of Ziyon): Al-Quds Legislative Committee: Al-Quds is a purely Islamic endowment to which the Jews have …
The rebranding of Facebook Inc., to “Meta,” has led to hilarity in Israel. The word “meta” is also a Hebrew word, meaning “dead.” The new name has led to a trending hashtag: #facebookdead, as well as a slew of funny tweets, including this one from Zaka. לא לדאוג, אנחנו על זה.#פייסבוק_מתה — זק״א (@zakaHQ) October …
Arizona, in a reaction to the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream company boycott of Israel, has sold off $93 million worth of Unilever bonds with plans to sell the remaining $50 million. That makes it the first state to actually act on its anti-boycott laws—laws that make the boycotting of the Jewish State of Israel …
The Palestinian Authority has submitted a long list of demands to the United States as preconditions for renewing peace negotiations with Israel.
