Remembering the 65th Anniversary of the Hadassah Medical Convoy Massacre
While the State Department denounces Israel for building houses in Jerusalem, the 65th anniversary of the Hadassah Medical Convoy Massacre reminds us that the Muslim terrorists worked to ethnically cleanse the native Jewish population from their city, engaging in attacks on civil and communal institutions, a wave of violence that concluded with the destruction of the synagogues of East Jerusalem and the expulsion of its Jewish population.‘Most Americans don’t want US to push Mideast peace’
New poll finds broad support for Israel in the US; 69% want to leave resolution of the conflict to Israelis and Palestinians
With just two days left before US President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, a new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds that seven in 10 Americans would prefer to leave peace negotiations to the Israelis and Palestinians rather than see the US take a lead role in trying to resolve the conflict.Netanyahu's Gift to Obama: Symbol of the U.S.-Israel Connection
Netanyahu will give Barack Obama a chip in which the independence scrolls of both countries are embedded side by side.
The nanochip will be placed on a Jerusalem stone from the Second Temple period which is normally used for sealing pottery in which liquids and perfumes had been stored. The gift was developed by the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute at the Technion in Haifa.Iron Dome to get airport photo op with Obama
The Prime Minister's Office said on Sunday that the unique gift symbolizes the key messages of the visit - the strong and deep relationship between Israel and the United States and the shared values between the nations, the thousand-year relationship between the people of Israel and the land of Israel, and Israel’s leadership when it comes to technological research and development.

Netanyahu to show his guest remarkable examples of Israel’s high-tech prowess, and introduce some young pioneers
Israel, Netanyahu will tell Obama, has made unique contributions in the fields of medicine, agriculture, road safety, robotics, and more — and will prove it by showing him some of the world-changing innovations developed here.‘Obama, don’t bring your smartphone to Ramallah’ by Khaled Abu Toameh
The large signs appeared over the past few days in a bid to draw US President Barack Obama’s attention to the fact that Palestinians in the West Bank still don’t have the 3G Internet service.Ann Bayefsky: Apartheid Palestine?
The posters read: “President Obama, don’t bring your smart phone to Ramallah; you won’t have mobile access to Internet; we nave no 3G in Palestine!” It was not clear on Sunday who was responsible for the posters. Some Palestinians said they did not rule out the possibility that the two local mobile phone companies, Jawwal and Wataniyeh, were behind the signs for purely commercial purposes.
The campaign to rid the world of Israeli settlements is a campaign to rid the world of Israel.
Now the 22nd Judenrein Arab state is in-the-making: Apartheid Palestine.Douglas Murray: Lord Ahmed: Disgrace to Britain
Meanwhile, 20 percent of Israel’s population is Arab, and free Arab citizens sit on the highest courts of the land, represent Israel abroad, and hold political office. An Arab living (and thriving) in the Jewish state is fulfilling a human right.
How does this obvious contradiction make it past the human rights geniuses at the UN? The answer is almost as old as humankind: intolerance, xenophobia, bigotry and lawyers.
It would be easy for them not to do so. Apart from his endless lies and extreme statements, Lord Ahmed has regularly hosted extremists, including people associated with terrorist groups, at the Houses of Parliament. Any panel invitation sent out at the behest of Lord Ahmed can be guaranteed to be a unique blend of conspiracy theorists, rabid anti-Semites and apologists for international terrorism. He has long been not just an embarrassment to the Labour party but an embarrassment to Parliament and a shame and disgrace to Britain.BBC pussy-footing around British antisemitism again
So why did the BBC elect to airbrush the racist nature of Lord Ahmed’s alleged remarks by using the ambiguous terms “Jewish claims” and “anti-Jewish remarks”? Coming hot on the heels of the BBC’s previous attempts to downplay the antisemitic nature of remarks made by David Ward MP, this really does suggest an endemic problem at the BBC.UK Parliament debates hate incitement and UK funding of PA, based on PMW findings
UK Parliament scrutinizes Palestinian hate incitement, terror glorification and British funding of PA in debate examining PMW findingsThe Israeli who can predict the future
MP Ellman: "The matters... are truly shocking and put a question mark over the status of the Palestinian Authority as a partner for peace"
MP Henderson: "No peace agreement will be able to guarantee... peace if a generation of Palestinians is growing up indoctrinated to hate Israel, Jews and the West"
She has a PhD and a black belt, but where Kira Radinsky is really making her mark is in Microsoft disaster-prediction software.
It was at Microsoft’s US headquarters that Radinsky, now 26, met Eric Horvitz, head of Microsoft Research. He suggested they work together on a data-mining project that’s been grabbing headlines. The duo’s software can predict disasters of many types, including disease outbreaks, violence and natural catastrophes.IAI Wins $300 Million Brazilian Contract
Israel Aircraft Industries has won a contract worth $300 million to build an airborne refueling system for Boeing 767-300 planes of the Brazilian Air Force. IAI beat out several companies in the U.S. and Europe to win the contract.#BDSFail!
Having achieved world peace and utopian harmony, last week marked the most anticipated social event on the calendar of Israel haters’, oops, pro-Palestinian activists, across campuses in the United States – the ‘Israel Apartheid Week.’
With the situation in Syria resembling Club Med in Vanuatu, feminists finally controlling the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and China open to the most robust free press and thriving Tibetan community in the world, clearly this is an opportune time for our bastions of human rights and defenders of freedom to turn on the sole democracy in the Middle East – that grand pariah of them all … the Jewish State of Israel.
