What is less well-known is that the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have also reportedly now also agreed on the broad contours of a deal for Saudi Arabia to recognize Israel – in exchange for Israeli concessions to the Palestinians that the Jewish State has long been unwilling to make.
Now, wouldn’t you suppose that those who are concerned about teenage Arab terrorists would be at least equally concerned about teenage Jewish victims of Arab terrorism? After all, caring about children from just one ethnic group and not another would be, well, racist.

The narrative that therapy inherently fosters alienation is largely a misconception.
Whereas, in past generations kashrut adherence was a bold sacrifice which defined Jewish identity, keeping kosher in the modern world is more seamless and therefore less identity-shaping.
Chances for a deal are high, the risks manageable, and the value overwhelming. The doubters and naysayers, as well as those who actively are trying to sabotage such an agreement, are wrong.
U.S. pressure led Jerusalem to give up singling out Arabs with U.S. citizenship for special scrutiny. Does the debate about “ethnic profiling” ignore threats?

Apparently, all a judge needs to rule the way he or she wants is to place themselves above the Knesset, the laws it passes and the government charged with executing them.
What it all comes down to is that one party seemingly decided that Obama's promise to radically transform America was too important to trust to the electorate.
The halo effect also distorts how we view people. People who are dressed nicely or more put together will be viewed more positively than those who aren’t.
That is how I feel. I know my chronological age, but nothing has changed in me that makes me believe it. So, then, while how I feel and my energy levels are a blessing, like many blessings, they come at a price: massive cognitive dissonance.

The constant mourning over the destruction of the land on Tisha B'Av, year after year, promised hope for a better future. When the Zionist movement arose towards the end of 19th Century, there was no need to explain what the return to Zion meant.

In public, US President Joe Biden is keen to give the impression that he is fully committed to backing Ukraine's battle for survival. But it is a different story behind-the-scenes, where Biden and his senior officials are more interested in ending the war in good time for next year's US presidential election contest.
To complicate matters even further, there are very low requirements for standing to bring matters before the court. The rigorous requirement of a direct personal interest in the outcome, as it exists in the U.S. system, is not present in the Israeli one.

Not every Senator and Congressman was present. A group of radical leftists, who misidentify themselves as "progressives", boycotted Herzog because he is president of the nation-state of the Jewish people...

Your kids won’t be imbued with decent values from our era’s public schools. They won’t be taught to respect authority or to love their country and flag.
