Understanding Israel’s Election Results
by Shifra on September 22, 2019Caroline Glick is an American-born Israeli columnist, journalist, author and political activist, and now writes for Breitbart. She gives an excellent analysis of the latest on last week’s Israeli election. And for anyone thinking that our Electoral College should be eliminated, just consider that our elections could result in the messiness of Israel’s system. As discussed in Real Clear Politics: If we abandoned the Electoral College, and adopted a system in which a person could win the presidency with only a plurality of the popular votes we would be swamped with candidates. Every group with an ideological or major policy interest would field a candidate, hoping that their candidate would win a plurality and become the president…. Via carolineglick.com The...

ICYMI: Flashback: Obama Admin. Barred Member of Israeli Knesset From Entering U.S.
by Shifra on August 21, 2019And here’s another flashback: Remember when the Obama Administration temporarily banned all U.S. –based flights to Israel because of “security concerns,” and Hamas declared it a big “victory” ? So maybe Joe Biden should have just sat this one out, rather than jumping in to comment on Israel’s decision to bar Omar and Tlaib from entering Israel on their “Palestine” trip, sponsored by the anti-Semitic, pro-terror Miftah group. Via Hot Air. In the midst of the hot takes offered up by the 2020 Democrat candidates when the two anti-Semitic U.S. congresswomen were denied entry into Israel, the guy at the front of the pack was quickly reminded that former President Obama’s administration made a similar decision. Joe Biden posted a...

Will Israel Bar US Congress Members Omar, Tlaib From Visiting? UPDATE: Blocked!
by Shifra on August 15, 2019There are 41 Democrat members of Congress, including Pelosi and Hoyer, who are currently in Israel. Why did Tlaib and Omar choose not to join them? The two anti-Israel, Jew-hating Democrat members are scheduled to make their “grand entrance” into Israel this weekend, and although Israeli officials had assured everyone that they would be allowed to enter the country, there are now reports that Netanyahu will bar them from Israel. Via Israel Hayom. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday morning was deliberating whether to allow two anti-Israel congresswomen, Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), from entering the country, Israel Hayom has learned. In July, the two Democratic congresswomen announced they would be taking an official trip to both Israel...

British Newspaper Obscures Four Killed By Israeli Army Were Hamas Terrorists
by Shifra on August 11, 2019Reading the Independent UK headline, you would think the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) killed four innocent men out for a stroll: “Israeli army kills four Palestinians attempting to cross Gaza fence” Here is the headline of the same event, reported by Times of Israel: IDF says large-scale terror attack thwarted as troops prevent Gaza infiltration — 4 Gazans with AK-47s, RPGs, hand grenades and hunting knives killed when one throws grenade at soldiers during attempt to scale barrier; Hamas says they ‘acted independently’ Via Honest Reporting. When is a terrorist not a terrorist? Judging by a recent Independent headline, the answer would seem to be when they are thwarted in the act of staging an attack on Israel. On Saturday...

Arab-Israeli ISIS Fighter Captured In Syria Begs Netanyahu: Let Me Return To Israel
by Shifra on August 6, 2019His “rationale” for why Israel should allow him to return? He compares himself to Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) who was kidnapped by Hamas and held for five years until being released in 2011 in a trade of over 1,000 Arab security prisoners. Wow, this guy is not exactly “the brightest bulb in the chandelier,” but his chutzpah is monumental. Via Times of Israel. An Israeli citizen captured in Syria while fighting with the Islamic State terror group asked to return home this week, telling news outlet Al Arabiyathat he wants Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to repatriate him. In an interview with the network broadcast Wednesday, Sayyaf Sharif Daoud beseeched the premier to work...

Omar, Tlaib Push ‘Boycott Israel!’… Yet Are Using Israeli Technology On Their Websites
by Shifra on July 23, 2019Yes, looks like Israel really “hypnotized” these two into using their technology 🙂 But if Omar and Tlaib want to be consistent in their hatred of Israel and their calls to boycott the Jewish state, they need to start by throwing out their iPhones because, yes, Apple uses an Israeli-developed chip. They also need to immediately stop texting, because, yep, SMS technology was developed in Israel. They should also remove all anti-virus software and personal firewalls from their computers because… Israel! And they should definitely check out this list: So You Want to Boycott Israel? Here’s A List of Products and Services You Need to Start With HT Twitchy. The awkward moment when the anti Zionist @IlhanMN notices that her...

Ayaan Hirsi Ali On Ilhan Omar And The Roots of Somali Anti-Semitism
by Shifra on July 22, 2019Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Somali-born Dutch-American activist, feminist, author, and scholar. She describes herself as having grown up “amid pervasive Muslim anti-Semitism.” In this column, she examines the roots of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Jew-hatred, and she states: “Hate is hard to unlearn without coming to terms with how you learned it.” Via WSJ. I once opened a speech by confessing to a crowd of Jews that I used to hate them. It was 2006 and I was a young native of Somalia who’d been elected to the Dutch Parliament. The American Jewish Committee was giving me its Moral Courage Award. I felt honored and humbled, but a little dishonest if I didn’t own up to my anti-Semitic past. So...

Muslim Medic Who Saved Israeli Girl’s Life Ten Years Ago Speaks At Her Wedding
by Shifra on July 15, 2019With all the negativity, finger-pointing and shouting lately, this is a great story about peaceful coexistence, hope, life, and love. Via Jerusalem Post. It is not unusual for a wedding to leave many of the guests in tears. However, a wedding in Israel last week did not leave a dry eye in the house for a very special reason. Muawiya Kabha, a Muslim paramedic in a response unit of United Hatzalah, made a special appearance at the wedding of Shahar Kugelmas and Nir David, and recounted to the guests present how in April 2009, he had arrived at the scene of a car crash to find Shahar dead…. “When I arrived there after two minutes, the doctor told me ‘this...

CA Dems Propose Resolution Linking Israel To Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre
by Shifra on May 31, 2019Linking the Israeli government and ‘fundamentalist Christians’ to the Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre? Looks like the mental anguish caused by their Trump Derangement Syndrome has taken these Dems over the edge. Via Fox News. A draft resolution set to be debated this weekend at the California Democratic Party State Convention, obtained by Fox News, accuses the Israeli government of willfully “aligning with the virulent Islamophobia” of white supremacist groups in the U.S. — and links Israel indirectly to the Oct. 2018 massacre of 11 congregants at a Pittsburgh synagogue…. The document was one of a slew of secretive, unpublished proposals obtained by Fox News that are slated for debate beginning Friday morning. A total of 14 Democrat presidential contenders are set...

Madonna ‘Bombs’ in Tel Aviv, Violates Rules of Eurovision Contest
by Shifra on May 19, 2019Last week, Madonna refused to bow to pressure from the anti-Israel BDS crowd, and went ahead with her planned special appearance over the weekend at the Eurovision Song Contest, held this year in Tel Aviv. If you praised her “courageous stance,” as I did… well, we were all too quick with the ‘kudos.’ She clearly violated the Eurovision rules by having a dancer wear a ‘Palestinian’ flag. And what’s up with dancers wearing…gas masks? Her lackluster performance was summed up by Piers Morgan, who tweeted: RIP Madonna’s career. 🙈🙈 pic.twitter.com/KIYmJjdYLV — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 18, 2019 Via Daily Mail. Madonna left fans disappointed on Saturday night with her poor performance of 1989 hit Like a Prayer at the 64th...

Video: Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Spews Anti-Israel Hatred in Bizarre Rant
by Shifra on May 17, 2019It would be easy to dismiss Waters’ rant as just unhinged babbling from an aging rocker who might have taken too many drugs over the years, or maybe needs medical attention. However, Waters is a prominent spokesperson for the anti-Israel BDS movement – Boycott, Divest, Sanction – which claims they are not anti-Semitic, even though he and his buddies, including UK Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn – routinely praise Hamas for their terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. This clip exposes what the BDS movement really stands for: Denial that Jews have a legitimate claim to the land of Israel. His face is twisted with rage because Israel is hosting the Eurovision song contest this weekend. And what brings him “joy” ?...

Madonna Refuses To Bow To Anti-Israel Boycott, Will Perform In Tel Aviv
by Shifra on May 14, 2019On this side of the “pond,” the Eurovision Song Contest is mostly ignored. But last year, it was watched by an estimated 189 million viewers from forty countries. And in Israel, this contest is huge: a combination of the “Super Bowl, World Series and Academy Awards.” Adding to the excitement is the fact that last year, Israel won, and the rules state that the Eurovision contest takes place in the last winner’s country. Brava to Madonna for ignoring calls for her to cancel her Tel Aviv performance. And shame on anti-Israel Jew-hating Roger Waters from Pink Floyd, who is working overtime to try to get Israel banned from Eurovision. Via Jerusalem Post. Pop superstar Madonna on Tuesday explained her decision...

CNN Host Corrects Tlaib’s Holocaust Remarks: ‘She Can’t Rewrite History’
by Shifra on May 13, 2019Kudos to John King for calling out Rashida Tlaib for her recent Holocaust remarks. He and his guest have it exactly right. Via Free Beacon. During Monday afternoon’s broadcast of Inside Politics, CNN host John King corrected Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) for her recent remarks that Palestinians provided a “safe haven” for Jews after the Holocaust. King noted that Palestinian leaders had sided with Hitler during World War II. In a podcast for Yahoo News released on Saturday, Tlaib said, “there’s always kind of a calming feeling,” when she thinks about how her Palestinian ancestors provided a “safe haven” for Jews when the state of Israel was officially established in 1948. Tlaib, “ignored the fact that Palestinian leaders at...

Video: Israeli Kids Confuse Rocket Siren With Holocaust Memorial Alert
by Shifra on May 7, 2019This video is both very sweet and very sad. Between the two-minute siren on Holocaust Remembrance Day, last Thursday, and tomorrow’s Memorial Day for fallen soldiers, these kids, over the past weekend, as Hamas rockets fell over the south of Israel, respectfully dropped their bikes and stood silently, until they heard calls to run inside. The mother in this video relates what happened. At the end of the clip, she realizes that Itai is missing, and starts shouting for him until he runs inside. HT United With Israel. Cute and scary at the same time! During one of today’s sirens, these children stood at attention thinking the siren was a memorial siren for yom hazikaron. 💔 Sweethearts. #Israel #IsraelUnderFire pic.twitter.com/uAWsVlf5ni...

MSNBC Host Slams Trump’s ‘Interference’ in Israel Election, Omits Obama’s
by Shifra on April 11, 2019Poor Chris Matthews probably got so triggered by President Trump’s Tuesday night tweet that he “forgot” how Obama used $350K of U.S. taxpayer dollars to try to unseat Netanyahu in the 2015 election. Trump flags being waived at the Bibi @Netanyahu VICTORY celebration last night! pic.twitter.com/SX8RVAALYW — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 10, 2019 Via NewsBusters. Despite early election predictions in Israel late Tuesday ranging from a split vote to a slim victory for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews showed his disdain for both Netanyahu and President Trump, suggesting the President’s policy moves (directly and indirectly) related to the Middle East were solely to exercise improper influence on the election…. Before introducing Bloomberg’s Shannon Pettypiece and...
