How does one compare the killing of a 6’4” 225-pound man in a physical tussle to the point blank shooting of a wheelchair-bound elderly man and subsequent tossing him off a boat while on an anniversary cruise?

For the United Nations, there was no plan for a Palestinian state until 1967; there were Palestinian Arab refugees who were to become Israelis and there were Jordanians, those who had lived in the “West Bank” before Israel’s war of independence.

The PA pays the terrorists and their families based on how long they spend in Israeli jails which is correlated to their crimes – more dead Israelis equals more jail time and more money. This contract is considered sacrosanct by PA Pres. Abbas

Some far-left celebrities even accused Israel and Donald Trump's Jewish son-in-law from developing the virus so that they could get rich from selling the vaccine.

A complete Times piece on Israel must have #FakeNews in addition to #AlternativeFacts and inversions

Such is the state of elections today: Israel forever holding elections, Palestinians never having elections and the United States attempting to control the election outcome.

Limiting the definition of antisemitism narrowly to the Holocaust and Israel ties the two together in a false narrative that the world gave Israel to the Jews as penance for European crimes of antisemitism, which in turn produces more antisemitism

The fancy Art Basel art fair in Miami sold a remarkable item for $120,000 in December 2019: an actual ripe banana duct taped to a wall.

Synagogues are now debating whether they need to hire police officers to guard their houses of worship, or at least have people within the community be on alert, perhaps armed.

An average Jew is three times more likely to suffer a hate crime than an average black, and twice as likely to be attacked as an average Muslim
