The @WSJ should have contacted me about Christians in Israel. I am one. Been coming here since 1973. Israel is ONLY country in region where Christian population has grown from 34K to almost 200K. @IsraelMFA just appointed a full Ambassador to the Christian world @GeorgeDeek . No other nation has done that. There are occasional but rare instances of thugs spitting at Christians in the Old City. It's repulsive & condemned by @IsraeliPM@IsraelPresident & @IsraelinUSA Happened recently at Armenian Church. @israelpolice arrested 6 ppl who did it. The perps didn't get away with it. Christians work, worship, & pray freely here. They serve in the @IDF as high-ranking officers. I go to church here every week w/o a problem. I visit with Palestinian Christians and Israeli Christians regularly. Occasional challenges? Sure. In NY, kippa-wearing Jews get spat on & viciously attacked. No one blames the entire US for behavior of a few criminals. I've been throughout the Middle East & know of no place where there is much religious diversity as there is in Israel. @Israel protects Christian Holy sites & Muslim Holy sites just as they do Jewish Holy sites. I hope @WSJ will do a bit more research in the future if they do a story about religious freedom in the Holy Land.
Justice delayed is justice denied. 25 yrs @arnoldroth & wife @frithrotj deserve justice. It’s why Malky’s picture is in a frame on a shelf in my office. She would be 40 yrs old this year.
The current wave of terrorist attacks is the price we are paying for the most dangerous word in Israel: containment – the policy of absorbing attacks, “managing the conflict,” and avoiding decisive action. This is an emergency!
In 2018 I took my father, z"l, from his home in Bet Shemesh to the Kotel in Jerusalem. At 93, he was weak, ill, and in a wheelchair. I wanted him to have one last chance to daven at the ancient wall—and to be with him when he did.
I think of my father on this Tisha B'Av and yearn to be with him again, when he is restored and Jerusalem is rebuilt.
Tonight, on the eve of Tisha B’Av, we will meet at 20:30 in front of the detention center at the Russian Compound to read the Book of Lamentations (Megilat Eichah), in support of Tal Yinon and the dear Dardik family.
Please join us.
I want to thank the IDF, Mossad and Israel for killing the Hezbollah leaders who have killed so many Americans. Tough, dirty work. America and the world are safer because of your sacrifices.
נמרוד שפר, ממובילי מחאת הסרבנות בחיל האוויר בדימוס, נפגש עם בכיר בפת״ח ביום של פיגוע נוראי שבו נרצח יהודי קדוש.
אלו השותפים ׳הדמוקרטים׳ של בנט ואיזנקוט. ככה נראה מחנה השינוי והריפוי שלהם. איזה תפקיד שר הם יתנו לו?

מה שהופך אותו לראש המוסד הבא.
אני מברך ומחזק אותו בתפקיד החדש.
וכל הכבוד לראש הממשלה על המינויים האיכותיים והחשובים.
זהו תיקון גדול שיביא ברכה למדינת ישראל.
Israel produced forensic evidence, videos, and 1000s of photos documenting the sexual violence of Oct 7.
The world stayed silent.
A handful of activists get off a boat making up sexual abuse claims against Israel.
And it becomes headline news.
Make it make sense.
I come from an Arab Christian family that has lived in the Holy Land for centuries.
Today, I have the honor of representing Israel to the Christian world.
This is my message to Christians everywhere.
Brilliant essay. And now we have a term for what was done to those poor girls of Rotherham: they were heideggered.
