Pls help support Surrey's community equipment appeal by returning any items you no longer need. If the equipment has a barcode sticker, pls ring 0330 124 1247 to hand it back & help others be independent at home. The pandemic means these items are needed now more than ever.
Thank you, my friend, for your most gracious wishes.
I fully agree with you. India-Israel friendship will continue to grow from strength-to-strength in the years to come.

In a historic first, Israeli physicians at Clalit-Schneider Children's Medical Center in Petah Tikva became the first in the world to treat a fatal genetic brain disorder by injecting a healthy gene directly into an eight-month-old infant's brain.
The groundbreaking procedure united an Israeli neurologist, the head of the hospital's genetics unit, an Arab-Israeli researcher from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the Israeli-born CEO of an American biotech company in an extraordinary international effort to save one child's life. The baby has since been discharged home, marking a landmark moment in personalized genetic medicine.

Israeli researchers at Hebrew University of Jerusalem have achieved a major breakthrough in cultivated meat production - developing a method that reduces the cost of growing steak-like tissue by up to ten times, potentially making lab-grown meat viable for global consumers.
The innovation uses a plant-based cellulose scaffold to attach growth factors directly to cell structures, dramatically lowering the expense of proteins that have historically been the bottleneck in scaling production. When cooked, the cultivated tissue exhibits browning, texture, and mechanical properties nearly identical to conventional beef. The breakthrough addresses a critical challenge: feeding a growing global population without expanding livestock farming. @HebrewU
Fizzy drinks were invented by a Yorkshire chemistโฆ who made nothing from them.
In 1767, Joseph Priestley suspended a bowl of water above a fermenting beer vat in Leeds.
The carbon dioxide rose and dissolved into the water.
He tasted it. He liked it.
He had just invented carbonated water.
Priestley published the method as "fixed air water."
Jacob Schweppe later refined it and built the business in London.
Today, in Britain, Schweppes is owned by none other than Coca-Cola.
A story with a common theme: English ingenuity. Global success. Foreign ownership.
Israel has unveiled an ambitious National Energy Plan for 2035 designed to triple its renewable electricity generation and reshape the country's energy infrastructure, with a target of 26 gigawatts of installed renewable capacity by the end of the decade.
The plan, presented to President Isaac Herzog, would expand Israel's current eight gigawatts of installed renewable capacity - which accounts for roughly 16 percent of national electricity consumption - to meet growing demand and reduce reliance on conventional energy sources. Another bright idea from the Jewish nation! ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ก
Educational achievement in Israel: female Muslim students outnumber their male counterparts by more than double in university enrollment!
The statistics according to Central Bureau of Statistics, show that nearly 50,000 Muslim students are enrolled in Israeli higher education institutions. Over three-quarters of Israel's approximately 409,000 Muslim students are eligible for their high school diploma, with women leading the way in university enrollment. The Muslim population comprises nearly 19% of Israel's total population with a growth rate of 1.8%; the largest Muslim population resides in Jerusalem.

Amateur footage out of Manchester shows Greater Manchester Police officers tasering and detaining ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ who were walking through the area ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ. The men reportedly claimed the blades were carried for โ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ฅ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญโ or religious purposes โ the standing UK exemption that lets certain ceremonial blades be carried in public.
The bystander narrating the clip flagged the operational detail that should matter to every Briton: the suspects were on the phone for ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐ฌ before officers moved in.

The Jews lived in the Holy Land for centuries, even before the Romans named the land โPalestina.โ
During the Ottoman occupation, Jews lived legally in Jerusalem and major cities in the Old Yishuv. Ottoman Jews were there long before the rise of the Zionist movement in Europe.
Even during the British colonial rule, a.k.a. the British Mandate of Palestine, which started in 1917, the Jewish community prospered. Jews bought land legally and turned the desert into a paradise.
When Britain returned the mandate to the UN, the Jews accepted the partition plan and agreed to establish a Jewish state next to an Arab state and live in peace with their Arab neighbors. But the Arab Muslims rejected it and repeatedly started wars to destroy the State of Israel and ethnically cleanse the Jews. They lost all the wars they started.
Somehow, they managed to convince people in the West that Jews are โillegalsโ in the Land of Israel and that Israel has no right to exist. This is the big lie.
Please share to destroy their false narrative.
๐ฌ๐ง Not a day goes by without news about antisemitism across Britain. Last week StandWithUs UK made headlines, releasing its "Voice of Students" report. Those voices are telling us that Jewish and pro-Israel students are being shut down, shut out and intimidated.
๐ช StandWithUs is committed to fighting back - but more than that - to ensuring that the next generation of British Jews are vocal and proud - and that they, and our allies, are strong in their identity with, and support of, Israel.

This is just INSANE ๐ณ
Israeli biotech company, NanoGhost, has created one of the most advanced targeted drug-delivery systems on Earth.
Spun out of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology by Prof. Marcelle Machluf (former dean of the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering), NanoGhost developed Nano-Ghosts (NGs) which are tiny nanovesicles made from the emptied membranes of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
These Nano-Ghosts retain the natural tumor-homing ability of stem cells. When injected, they act like biological Trojan horses.
They travel through the bloodstream, infiltrate tumors and inflamed tissue, and deliver powerful drugs, proteins, mRNA, or gene-editing tools directly inside cancer cells, while largely sparing healthy tissue and dramatically reducing side effects.
Proven effective in preclinical studies against multiple aggressive cancers (melanoma, prostate, lung, glioma, pancreatic).
The technology is now in advanced preclinical development, with human clinical trials expected in the coming years.
This isnโt science fiction anymore. Itโs Israeli innovation turning your own cells into precision-guided missiles against cancer.
Proud every single day. ๐ฎ๐ฑ

The Great British supermarket farmwashing scandal. Giving off the impression of food being from British farms, but the food is often not from Britain, but from overseas.
Itโs time to end supermarket farmwashing that cons shoppers into thinking they are buying British farm food, when itโs foreign food.
Itโs not just a con. It hurts British farmers by consumers being tricked into buying foreign food rather than British food. Itโs time for clear country of origin labelling on all supermarket food.
Palestine Action protesters could be sentenced as TERRORISTS after violent raid on Israeli defence firm
Four activists Charlotte Head, 30, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio and Fatema Rajwani, 21 were convicted of criminal damage at Woolwich Crown Court last week over the 6 August 2024 raid on Elbit Systems UK near Bristol.
The group rammed the factory gates with an old prison van, then used crowbars and sledgehammers to smash computers, drones and equipment while spraying red paint across the site in red boiler suits.
Samuel Corner was also found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm after fracturing a police sergeantโs spine during the clash.
Judge Mr Justice Johnson ruled the offences have a โterrorist connectionโ because of their link to Palestine Actionโs campaign against the Israeli-owned arms firm.
Sentencing is set for 12 June 2026 and could carry much harsher terrorism-style penalties.
