President Donald Trump, and more importantly, American democracy, will now get its day in court.
It is still not clear what Hezbollah will eventually do, if anything substantial at all.
There were even people who condemned Garner’s parenting, alleging that Garner must be a weak mother if she couldn’t convince her daughter to switch her shirt.
Some have held that it did disqualify Trump, removing him from the list of eligible state primary election candidates. Others have said that the restrictions on holding office did not apply to him.
World War II and the Holocaust dampened Harvard’s enthusiasm for Nazism, and after the war, meritocracy was restored and Jewish enrollment began rising again.
He had an uncommon feel for the pulse of the Torah community which he combined with a palpable empathy towards those who sought his advice.
As shocking incidents pile up and surveys show prejudice growing, the way woke ideology grants a permission slip for Jew-hatred cannot be ignored.
(TPS) Hezbollah’s Jan. 6 attack on the Israeli Air Force’s Meron air traffic control base, likely using Iranian-supplied Kornet-EM missiles, marks a significant escalation by the Iran-backed terrorist group. The day before the attack, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah had threatened retaliation for the Jan. 2 assassination of Saleh Al-Arouri, Hamas’s deputy politburo chief in Beirut. […]
Hamas sees Barghouti’s potential release as an opportunity to boost public support and showcase its commitment to a comprehensive approach involving prisoners from various factions.

As the Biden administration doubtless knows, replacing Hamas with the PA will change nothing in the Gaza Strip.
Will Sinwar leave Gaza to fight another day or go down in a blaze of glory?
The usual suspects in the Middle East peacemaking industry are already beginning to recycle their old and discredited ideas. President Joe Biden, sounding like a dummy for the ventriloquist Barack Obama, is talking of "a two-state solution: one for the Israelis and one for the Palestinians."
"At the time of writing, the State of Qatar contributes more funds to universities in the United States than any other country in the world, and raw donation totals omit critical, concerning details about the nature of Qatar's academic funding." — ISGAP report, "Networks of Hate," December 2023.
What we’ve seen in Canada, as well as previously in the UK, is a political establishment dominated by leftists and in bed with Islamic terrorists.
Palestine Authority’s (PA) relentless glorification of terrorists reinforces the culture of hatred against Jews.
Israel’s Ethiopian community is about 180,000 strong. Exiled from Judea before the Second Temple, and before Rabbinic Judaism, the Jews of Ethiopia suffered religious persecution, forced migration, forced conversion, and horrific trials before they could make aliyah to Israel.
So, the seeds of Jew hatred lie in the belief of our enemies, from Sefer Shemot, that we witnessed G-d as a people. But the story of Sefer Shemot also provides us with hope.
I decided that if I was going to post again, I wanted to also use my business to help out Israelis in need.
For Israel to achieve victory in the war with Hamas, it will have to adapt its security concept to reflect a new and deeper understanding of the enemy’s perception of the nature of its struggle with Israel.
How can we wean students off electronic devices and help them appreciate the transmission of ideas through the classic use of the written word?
The 17 people participating in the Kosher Troops mission to Israel didn’t receive the press coverage of the groups of celebrities and politicians who recently visited, but we were warmly welcomed wherever we traveled in Israel.
Did I have good reasons for returning to America? At the time I certainly thought so. Would I have been a particularly good soldier? If I had been drafted to a combat unit (as most Hesdernikim were in my time), almost certainly not.
I've lived in Israel for the majority of my years on earth. So please tell me... WHEN DO I BECOME AN ISRAELI?!
To be sure, the Houthis are strangely drawing the U.S. into the fray by targeting U.S. and other nations’ shipping in addition to Israel’s and the U.S. has gone out of its way to accuse Iran of being deeply involved in the Houthi attacks on Israel. So, the bottom line is that at all events, the U.S. is materially engaged.
Mayor Adams did not exempt the NYPD from his new across the board 5% cut of municipal agency budgets in order to pay for the city’s multi-billion-dollar deficits occasioned by the immigrant crisis. So that things were destined to take a turn for the worse seemed preordained.
Without even getting into the Congressional testimony of Harvard’s president, Claudine Gay, on genocide against Jews or her scholarship, or lack of it (against the scholarship of scholars she allegedly plagiarized), this article will focus on the students at Harvard who may still be among the best and the brightest.
"The court did not rise to the occasion, but that does not mean that we should be irresponsible," says MK Simcha Rothman, one of the reform effort's key architects.
So when you watch an anti-Israel demonstration on television, please understand who is behind it and what are their ultimate goals, because the next target is American democracy -- and you.

Knowing the difference is the key to understanding the Middle East
Teaching positions are a privilege, NOT an entitlement.
Another case of the pendulum swinging in the opposite direction concerns the United Nations and diplomacy in general
This beautiful soul was killed because of a war started by a Palestinian society that produced and still supports Hamas — which seeks not to build and celebrate life, but to destroy it.
Accordingly, the Hamas Massacre has taken “Two-State” off the table, even if Biden and Harvard students don’t know yet, and Israel can and must continue populating Judea and Samaria to one million in the immediate months ahead
Rather than addressing the causes of the conflict, the US and West do not seriously confront the Arabs about incitement against Israeli citizens in their schools, mosques and media and do not hold them accountable for continuing to provide financial support to families of convicted terrorists who are either incarcerated in Israeli prisons or who have died while murdering Israelis. Instead, they blame Israel for intransigence
We are a people of life. We do not support martyrdom. Needlessly endangering a life is considered a serious sin. Saving a life is the paramount act, one that supersedes everything else.
Imagine craving a hug, not from you, but from hundreds, thousands of strangers online. Every like is a pat on the back, every follower is a whispered you're okay. Social media is this crazy dopamine machine, feeding on my insecurities and making me chase validation.

I was surprised that the university presidents did such a poor job of responding to questions that should not have been so difficult for them to answer.
While the gaping wounds caused by their deaths will never truly be healed, the fallen heroes of this war still live!

I felt removed from important American decision-making. But I noticed that there was a subject that received little discussion or attention from the career foreign-policy experts at the State Department.
In other words, China and Russia are preparing to go to war together. As no country threatens either of them, they are undoubtedly thinking of perpetrating more acts of aggression.
By Sara Lehmann
Absent the merit of truth, or at a minimum of context, anti-Israel activists brazenly reprocess history as it unfolds so that the events of October 7th themselves are denied.
The resolution also says nothing about the Hamas practice of locating military personnel and weapons in civilian areas which put civilians at particular risk as the IDF prosecutes it war against Hamas.
The right of voters to decide who will make binding decisions for them is as fundamental in a democracy as you can get.
Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party is no better than Hamas. It has celebrated the Oct. 7 attacks
The timing of the decision is as relevant as ever. IDF soldiers and veterans should not have to worry about their reputation being tarnished through malicious and reckless allegations…

the UN — whose ideals are supposed to shine like a beacon of light in a murky world — was nowhere to be seen and nowhere to be heard in solidarity with Israel.
It seems that even in the United States, where Jews were once safe those times may also be coming to an end.
Iran: The largest anti-American venomous octopus in the world
The same leftists who maligned whites have now turned on the Jews. When whites were being denigrated, many Jewish leftists either supported the attacks or acquiesced to them. Now these Jews are being included among the “oppressors,” which is the same genocidal hatred that was exhibited in the George Floyd riots.
And still, it can now be stated clearly, the IDF is winning its war in Gaza. In the course of the past two weeks, the signs have become increasingly clear.
Three or Four, Now That's More Realistic
The "DEI" bureaucracies in U.S. colleges are failing to protect Jewish students from a wave of antisemitism. The right reaction is to recognize how pernicious they are, not to plead that Jewish students too are "oppressed."

Anti-Zionism, bolstered by an infamous czarist-era forgery, has served to cement an unholy alliance of Marxists, Islamists and progressives.
Faith doesn’t remove pain, but it can get you through it.
It started at the young age of 12 when I became associated with one of the leading rabbis of the last 100 years, Rav Avigdor Miller. He was a genius in human relations and I sucked up as much knowledge as I could learn from him.
How do you take a teacher, a doctor, a plumber, and a student and turn them into an army?... In particular, how do you do this when just a few weeks earlier they were marching against each other in opposing factions down the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem?
As a volunteer, I’ve seen firsthand the unprecedented mobilization of Israeli society to support bereaved families, families whose husbands/fathers were called up, and refugees from the South and North. So, what missing element did this dinner offer?
Certainly, the masterminds behind this movement understood that students are easily beckoned by social causes that make them feel empowered. By defending the rights of those they feel are less fortunate, they assuage their guilty conscience for enjoying the middle-class comforts that others do not.
Perhaps Joseph recognizes he has an opportunity to help create a different future, one where the brothers will learn to live together in peace and harmony, and where Yaakov will be blessed to once again be surrounded by all of his sons living and working together towards a better future.
Whether the epidemic of anti-church/anti-state attacks are coordinated or spontaneous, they combine to achieve a common goal. They fracture the French nation and drive a wedge between good people on both sides of France’s religious racial/divide.

The Israel Democracy Institute poll also found that 69% of all Israelis support elections immediately after the war.
No one can deny that the tragic, brutal, genocidal massacre of innocent Jews on Shabbat Simchat Torah brought about at least a temporary ceasefire in the multi-level conflict in Israel – left vs. right, secular vs. religious, Ashkenazim vs. Sephardim.
The Biden administration, which has pointedly moved two full aircraft carrier battle groups with overwhelming firepower to the Middle East, has failed to strike at Houthi military facilities, limiting itself to defending against the launched missiles and drones, even after persuading Israel to allow the U.S. to deal with the problem.

Last week the campaign matured into actual sanctions on “extremist settlers.”
According to the Times of Israel, Kirby said some of the steps the IDF has taken to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza went further than what the U.S. would have done if it were in Israel’s place.
It creates divisiveness on campuses that makes Jewish students and faculty fearful for their safety when their university president seems unwilling to apply the same standard to those who advocate genocide against Jews as they surely would against anyone who advocated genocide against Blacks or the raping of women or the shooting of gay and transgender people.

From the murder of Sébastien Sellam in 2003 to that of Mireille Knoll in 2018, all murders of Jews in France have been committed by radicalized Muslims.
The PLO and its supporters continued to look for a way to expel Israel.
The president’s rhetoric continues to turn against the Jewish state, but as long as the military aid keeps flowing, his appeasement of anti-Israel Democrats won’t save Hamas.
An ugly, fringe phenomenon being falsely puffed up to "balance" the crimes of Hamas.
“Israel has nowhere near the capacity they need to deal with a major war with Hezbollah,” said Brad Bowman, of FDD. “We have to sound the alarm so that the people that can actually do something about it can fix it.”

Maybe you don’t need to hear this, but it must be said to counter the voices arguing otherwise: You did not deserve this
This is a time that we need to dig deeper, muster all of our energy, courage and resources to stand tall and proud and to be practicing Jews.
When they do not contain a clear message and require interpretation, a crucial question arises: Who is empowered to interpret the dream?
Indeed, we are seeing a surge of feminine strength and resilience during these trying days for Israel and world Jewry. In our Jerusalem community, I am blown away by the acts of heroism and self-sacrifice that I am witnessing firsthand.
We should pay more respect to those who display moral courage and clear-headed moral principles.
In today’s cancel culture and pervasive campus antisemitism, couldn’t they reasonably have believed they would be hounded out of office by aroused and cynical students always on the lookout for a rallying cause?
The Satmar view, on the other hand, is hardly opposed to Jewish presence in Israel.
