Video: Israel, US End ‘Juniper Cobra 18’ Exercise With Live-Fire Air Defense Test
by Shifra on March 23, 2018Neat! Via Times of Israel. The Israel Defense Forces and US military ended their joint Juniper Cobra missile defense exercise this week, with live-fire tests of two anti-aircraft systems over the skies of central Israel. The exercise, which began on March 4, simulated a massive ballistic missile attack on the State of Israel, with American and Israeli troops working together to defend the country, something officials from both militaries stressed could happen in reality. “They will train shoulder to shoulder, the same way we will fight in times of crisis. It’s not just about an exercise,” Brig. Gen. Tzvika Haimovitch, Israel’s air defense commander, told reporters when the exercise began. Israel considers ballistic missiles, specifically precision-guided ones, to be one...

Pro-Israel Group Sues IRS, Exposes Obama Admin’s Anti-Israel Stance
by Shifra on February 7, 2018I am so sick of hearing the Democrat talking point about Obama being such a “great friend to Israel.” The reality is that under Obama’s IRS, Islamic groups with ties to terrorists had no trouble getting a tax-exempt status, groups such as Gaza’s Hope, Friends of Al-Rowwad USA Inc, American Charities for Palestine, and Institute for Palestine Studies USA Inc. But Z Street, founded in 2009, to “educate Americans about the Middle East and Israel’s defense against terror, ” did not receive the tax-exempt status. Why? Because the IRS determined that Israel was “a country with terrorists” and they needed to investigate if Z Street was “funding terrorism.” When Z Street mounted a lawsuit, IRS froze their application. Finally, Z...

Israeli Zoo Treats Overweight Hedgehogs With Diet and Exercise Regimen
by Shifra on January 4, 2018Don’t blame the hedgehogs for their weight gain.

Reuters ‘Apologizes’ For Using Photo of Netanyahu in Iran Protest Report
by Shifra on January 2, 2018A very lame apology, to say the least. And, as someone on Twitter pointed out, what about all the people who saw the photo but did not see Reuters’ retraction? Are they left with the impression that Israel is somehow implicated in the Iran protests? Via Jerusalem Post. After Reuters Television used a photograph of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Intelligence Services Minister Israel Katz to illustrate its headline about 10 Iranian protesters on its Twitter account, the Israeli Government Press Office complained to Reuters, which agreed to change it immediately…. CORRECTED PHOTO: We are deleting our tweet to replace the photograph to more accurately reflect the main points of the video https://t.co/D28ibCV5tQhttps://t.co/CEjbAYmIKV — Reuters TV (@ReutersTV) January 1, 2018

Flashback: Hillary Promises to Be Advocate For Moving US Embassy to Jerusalem, ‘Eternal Capital of Israel’
by Shifra on December 11, 2017Back in 1999, when Hillary ran for the NY Senate seat, she pandered to every group she met, from pretending to be a “life-long Yankees fan,” to promising to do everything she could to make the US embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem a reality.

First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton says she considers Jerusalem to be the “eternal and indivisible capital of Israel” and will be an active advocate — if elected to New York’s Senate seat — to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

MSNBC Accidentally Shows Rioting Arabs As Panel Blames President Trump For ‘Ruining’ Peace Process
by Shifra on December 7, 2017Oops. But you just know if Obama had decided to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, he would be hailed by the MSM as deserving of a second Nobel Peace Prize. Via Daily Caller. An MSNBC panel about Jerusalem got super awkward when the producers accidentally rolled footage of Palestinian riots.

MSNBC political analyst Heidi Przybyla expressed concern that the move could increase anti-Israeli and anti-American sentiment, suggesting that Trump might be to blame if any Americans were killed as a result of the decision.
