WE'RE BRAGGING ABOUT THIS!

According to a recent US News and World Report: 'Israel has a large presence on the global stage, thanks in part to its close relationship with the US.' Israel ranked eighth on the list of the world's most powerful nations.

We couldn't be happier. But then again we probably knew Israel stood high among the nations in the first place. Full story HERE.

More Reason to Celebrate

AFSI is celebrating the rescue of the boys in Thailand. This morning, the number rescued is 8. Perhaps by the time you read this there will be more. It certainly is miraculous and is a great demonstration of determination, expertise, incredible cooperation, and extraordinary courage.

Israel's close involvement this rescue operation cannot be under estimated. In addition to Israeli technology having originally located the boys, Israel's Ambassador to Thailand Meir Shlomo said Sunday that Israel's navy has found a potential rescue solution. "We presented the plan to the Thai governor and to the lead diver responsible for rescue operations."

Expose the Refugee Myth

In 2012 Congress ordered the State Department to disclose how many Palestinians currently served by UNRWA fled the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and how many are merely their descendants. The Obama administration classified the report, citing national security. We did not know census data was a threat to national security.

The UNRWA numbers in the report are grossly exaggerated in order to perpetuate its Palestinian "refugee" agenda.

"Once the refugee issue is exposed as a scam, Palestinian leaders would have to learn how to govern, not merely stir up antagonism with Israel." It's time for the truth to unfold and AFSI believes President Trump can make this happen. We call on President Trump to DECLASSIFY THIS DOCUMENT NOW.

Read Caroline Glick's excellent Opinion piece on exposing and shutting down UNRWA.

Neda Amin's Artuz Sheva OpEd exposes the origin of a new course for Palestinian children called, "How Will We Kill an Israeli."

Britain is now getting wind of the fact that their funding is being used for anti-Semitism incitement in Palestinian textbooks and plans an investigation.

This is Why?

A source explains why the IDF does not raise its response level to incendiary kite warfare and flare-ups from Gaza. "The reason for the army's non-response lies in two areas, the first area is negotiations that have been accelerated in recent days on the issue of Gaza as a whole and the prisoners in particular, and the second is the north." The IDF sees the northern border as its chief concern and is believes negotiations in the South may still be fruitful. We have our doubts.

He Never Asked the Critical Question

After Prince William's visit to a "refugee camp" in the 'West Bank,' he commented, "I saw at Jalazon the tremendous hardships faced by the refugees, and I can only imagine the difficulties of life lived under these conditions, the resources and the lack of opportunity."

But did he even think to ask, WHY this situation exists? For more, read David Singer's Arutz Sheva OpEd HERE.
