• Rep. Ilhan Omar Faces Backlash For Suggesting Jewish Money Behind US Support of Israel UPDATE: Omar ‘Apologizes’ for Anti-Jewish Comments

  by Shifra on February 11, 2019

  UPDATE: Dem Rep. Omar apologizes for Israel comments, calls out ‘problematic’ role of AIPAC, ‘other lobbyists’ Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., apologized Monday for comments in which she implied that a prominent pro-Israel lobby compensated lawmakers for their support of the Jewish state, but insisted on what she called “the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics.” “Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Omar wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to...

• Israeli Scientists Find Possible Cure For Cancer. Will BDS Israel-Haters Boycott That, Too?

  by Shifra on January 29, 2019

  The Jew-hating anti-Israel “Boycott Divest Sanction” crowd really needs to show some consistency, don’t you think? Here are all the products they should consider boycotting, via a 2008 YouTube clip: Via Daily Wire. For all the Israel-haters out there, they’d better hope that that Israelis are forgiving if they are stricken with cancer, because if a new report out of Israel turns out to be true, scientists in the Jewish state have discovered a cure. And not just a cure for certain forms of cancer, but a complete cure for the deadly disease. According to Dan Aridor, chairman of the board of Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd. (AEBi) and CEO Dr. Ilan Morad, their treatment will not need time for the...

• Israel Completing Underwater Barrier To Keep Terrorists Out. Because Walls Work!

  by Shifra on January 4, 2019

  Democrats like to say that building a wall at our border is “immoral.” But do you know what’s really immoral? Putting our national security at risk just to score cheap political points. And opposing the efforts of the President of the United States to secure our borders because you didn’t like the outcome of the election. Note from Tammy: Excellent point from Shifra, reminding us of the main argument against the wall by Pelosi and the Democrats. They use the “immoral” argument” because they can’t win on the issue itself. We know historically and via the wall sections that already exist in our country, that they work. Along the sections that have a wall at our southern border, illegal traffic...

• Gov. Abbott To Muslim Group: ‘Texas Stands With Israel. Period’

  by Shifra on December 18, 2018

  God bless Gov. Greg Abbott and the State of Texas. And the State of Israel. Via CNS. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced a lawsuit Monday challenging legislation in Texas which prohibits government agencies from contracting with or investing in companies that boycott Israel. CAIR’s legal defense fund is supporting a speech therapist whose attempt to renew her contract with a school district in an Austin suburb hit a hurdle when she refused to sign a document affirming she does not boycott Israel…. “Ms. Amawi advocates for boycotts of Israel due to Israel’s continuing violations of international law in its treatment of Palestinians,” the suit says. “Specifically, Ms. Amawi boycotts products created in Israel in support of the peaceful...

• CNN Commentator Uses Anti-Israel Slogan Calling For Elimination Of Jewish State UPDATE: CNN Drops Hill

  by Shifra on November 29, 2018

  For the past one and half years, ever since President Trump took office, we have been assaulted with accusations of “racist dog-whistles.” Almost every utterance from the President, from the GOP, from Trump voters, has been twisted by the Left into charges of “racism.” Now we have a hateful message from a CNN commentator, Marc Lamont Hill, who basically just called for the genocide of over 8 million Israelis. The cry of “free Palestine from the river to sea” was uttered by Hill at a UN conference yesterday. The “river” refers to the Jordan River, the “sea” refers to the Mediterranean. The area from “the river to the sea,” from east to west, is approximately nine miles. When President George...

• Incoming FL Gov DeSantis Promises Action Against AirBnB’s Boycott of Israel

  by Shifra on November 27, 2018

  Bravo to Governor-Elect Ron DeSantis for his steadfast support of Israel. The Dem who lost the election, Andrew Gillum, aligns himself with “progressive” groups that support the anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement. Yes, “elections have consequences” Via Daily Wire. On Monday, incoming governor Ron DeSantis of Florida stated bluntly that if Airbnb does not rescind its recently-instituted policy of delisting listings from Israeli Jews in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), he will work to make sure that Florida state officials are not permitted to use Airbnb for official travel. DeSantis stated: The other issue that’s now coming to the forefront is this new policy by Airbnb to basically discriminate against Jews in the West Bank. They delisted all...

• US Opposes, For First Time, UN Condemning Israel’s Presence in Golan Heights

  by Shifra on November 18, 2018

  In June, 1967, Syria, together with Egypt and Jordan, attacked Israel, and this became known as the Six- Day War. Israel captured the Sinai desert from Egypt, the West Bank from Jordan, and the Golan from Syria. The Golan Heights is an elevated area in which Syria had built bunkers, and many Israeli civilians had been killed by Syrian sniper fire, making farming and fishing very difficult. Israel had been willing to return the land to Syria in exchange for peace, but Syria rejected this offer. The Golan was transferred to Israeli sovereignty by the Israeli parliament in 1981. Every year, the U.N. votes to condemn Israel for its control of the Golan. And every year, the U.S. abstains. Until...

• After Election, Muslim Democrat Now Admits She Supports Anti-Israel BDS

  by Shifra on November 15, 2018

  The anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) Is a Leftist, Jew-hating movement that appropriates the language of civil rights and “social justice” to spread the vicious lie that Israel oppresses Palestinians in the same way that South Africa oppressed black S. Africans with apartheid. It is nothing more than “old” anti-Semitism repackaged as anti-Zionism and hatred of Israel. Here’s a memo to pro-Israel Minnesotans who voted for Omar: The next time you see a tweet like this one, believe it. Via Forward. ….Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minneapolis and one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, quickly met up with some of her fellow trail-blazing colleagues like Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But back at home, many of...

• Swiss Air Deletes Tel Aviv From Map, Uses Non-Existent Arab Town In Its Place

  by Shifra on October 12, 2018

  They also omitted “Jerusalem” from the map. But Swiss Air insists they are “politically neutral.” Via World Israel News. Swiss International Air Lines flight LX252 from Switzerland to Tel Aviv last month placed the Arabic town “Esh Sheikh Muwannis”on its onboard inflight map to Tel Aviv. The words ‘Tel Aviv’ appeared to float in the heavens above the plane, raising the ire of pro-Israel activists. Sheikh Muwannis was a small Arab town that once stood where Tel Aviv University stands today. The town has not exited for over 70 years…. Swiss Air apologized “for having caused negative feelings.” “As a privately owned company, we are politically neutral with no intent to make political statements. Our procedure with this standardized map...

• Three Iranians Arrested For Billboard Error Depicting Israeli Soldiers

  by Shifra on September 30, 2018

  As part of a week of remembrance for Iranian soldiers who died in the Iran-Iraq war, a billboard was posted in the city of Shiraz, honoring Iranian troops. But oops, the original photo was of four IDF soldiers, one a female soldier who was photoshopped out of the billboard. Here is the original photo: Via i24news. Iranian authorities have detained three people after a billboard accidentally featuring Israeli soldiers was erected in the south of the country amid its annual commemoration of the Iran-Iraq War, Iran’s semi official ISNA news agency reported on Friday. The image, which was photoshopped to remove the female officer, shows the backs of three male Israeli soldiers overlooking a hillside. It appeared next to a...

• Israel Mocks Iran’s ‘New’ Fighter Jet As Copy of Obsolete F-5

  by Shifra on August 26, 2018

  Looks like the Trump Administration sanctions on Iran are working… #Winning Via Times of Israel. A spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mocked Iran’s revelation…of its “indigenous” new fighter jet. Iran unveiled the fighter jet at a defense show in Tehran on Tuesday, calling the Kowsar a “fourth-generation” fighter, with “advanced avionics” and multi-purpose radar, the Iranian news agency Tasnim said, adding that it was “100-percent indigenously made.” But analysts quickly noted similarities between the plane and the F-5 fighter jet, made by Northrop-Grumman in the 1950s. “The Iranian regime unveils the Kowsar plane and claims that it is ‘the first 100% locally-manufactured Iranian fighter jet,’” Ofir Gendelman, Netanyahu’s Arabic language spokesman, wrote on Twitter. “It boasts about its offensive...

• Headline Fails: BBC, ‘Irish Times’ Display Their Anti-Israel Bias

  by Shifra on August 13, 2018

  Israeli airstrike in Gaza City After barrages of rockets from Gaza, aimed at Israeli civilians, Israel hit back at Hamas targets. Would any country tolerate such attacks on their civilians? Via Honest Reporting. Residents of southern Israel spent the night in bomb shelters as Palestinians fired a heavy barrage of rockets and mortars (nearly 200, according to the most recent numbers I saw). The IDF retaliated with air strikes on more than 100 Hamas terror sites. As we expected, we came across a few headline fails. Headlines matter because many people don’t read articles, just skimming their newspaper, web site or social media feed. Headlines also matter because studies show that they frame the way people read and remember a...

  by Shifra on August 5, 2018

  As Tammy says: I love us! Via United With Israel. American firefighters arrived in Israel to join their Israeli colleagues fighting fires ignited by Hamas’ arson terrorism. Arriving in the Jewish state under the auspices of the Emergency Volunteer Project, which operates to train and deploy international fire and rescue personnel to Israel in times of crisis, ten American volunteers are combating blazes started by Hamas’ fire kites and explosive balloons launched by Palestinians in Gaza. “Real solidarity is measured with deeds, and there’s no better way to show such solidarity than fighting shoulder to shoulder against the fires raging on the Gaza border,” announced the US Embassy in Jerusalem…. Over the past 140 days, Hamas’s ecological terrorism has burned...

• New ‘Teen Vogue’ Fashion Trend: Bashing Israel

  by Shifra on July 20, 2018

  Suggested new motto for Teen Vogue: Check us out for all the latest in makeup, celebrities and clothing trends…and bashing-Israel moral equivalence. Via Times of Israel. Once a must-read for young fashonistas, Teen Vogue in 2016 expanded its coverage, shifting the magazine more aggressively into “covering politics, feminism, identity and activism” from an apparently liberal lens. Now, among articles on makeup, celebrities and clothing trends, Teen Vogue would like to give Israel a progressive makeover. The July 16 “Do Better” column by Lincoln Anthony Blades, who writes on race, culture and society, compares the policing of minority communities in the United States and Israel, and not in a flattering way. “The recent history of police violence enacted on unarmed black...

• New Gaza Terror Tactic: ‘Fire’ Falcon Found in Israel

  by Shifra on July 17, 2018

  Remember how ridiculous the Arab world sounded when Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, was accused of training sharks to attack swimmers, in order to ruin Egypt’s tourism industry? And when a vulture tagged by Israeli scientists flew into Saudi Arabia…and was arrested for being a spy ? But this story is no laughing matter. Gazans sending incendiary kites and balloons over the border to burn down Israeli vineyards, farmlands and nature reserves, have sunk to a new low: A falcon was found dead, in a tree, attached to a harness with flammable material. It seems their hatred for Israel is greater than their respect for life, human or animal. Via Jerusalem Post. An employee from the National Parks Authority (NPA) spotted...
