An unprecedented UN ‎resolution condemning Hamas is being promoted by the United States and Israel. ‎

The resolution, a joint move by Israeli Ambassador to the ‎UN Danny Danon and outgoing US Ambassador Nikki Haley, ‎excoriates Hamas' terrorist activities, its rocket fire on Israel, ‎its incitement to violence, and its use of civilian resources for military ‎purposes, predominately its sprawling grid of terror tunnels. ‎

This Land is Ours

The Jewish Press reports that the Israeli High court ruled that 522 dunams (129 acres) of disputed land near Kibbutz Rosh Tzurim in Gush Etzion does in fact belong to the Kibbutz and a subsidiary organization of the Jewish National Fund.

Arabs were claiming that this land belonged to them.

Disconnected From Reality

"If that is the situation, why do you continue living there?"

That questions was asked of two Israelis by a UN Human Rights Council commission member. UNHRC is investigating the events of recent months on the Israel-Gaza border.

Can you imagine that question being asked of an Arab in Gaza?

Numbers Doubled. Tourism to Judea and Samaria doubled since Airbnb blacklisting of the region.

No Joke. IDF general says Tel Aviv cafes won't be open during next war.

No Justification. Deputy FM Tzipi Hotovely urges international community to rethink donating to UNRWA.

Letter to the Editor - The Jewish Press

It took courage and decency on the part of Women's March founder, Theresa Shook, to call for the leaders, Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, Bob Bland, and Carmen Perez, to quit their positions in the upcoming march. Contrary to the announced purpose of the march, which drew thousands of innocent women, believing they were marching for women's rights, into a trap where they unknowingly were supporting anti- Semitism, anti-Zionism, anti- LBGTQIA, and a whole variety of racist, hateful beliefs.

Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, unabashed anti-Semite, loudly proclaims that, "The powerful Jews are my enemy." He accuses Jews of promoting lesbianism and homosexuality. This is the man Linda Sarsour has openly embraced and the man that Tamika Mallory has labelled, The Greatest of All Time, the GOAT.

We must applaud those women who have already declined to appear at the upcoming march, actors Alyssa Milano and Debra Messing. May they become the new leaders of this movement, upholding the original aims of the founders: "To show the capacity of human beings to stand in solidarity and love against the hateful rhetoric that has become a part of the political landscape in the U.S. and around the world."
