Elections
Jerusalem, We Have a Problem | by David Lazarus, Israel Today | Netanyahu's legal woes have ratcheted up Israel's raucous election scene to unprecedented levels of insanity
The Netanyahu indictments:
unfair and inevitable | by Jonathan S Tobin, JNS
| The charges against the prime minister set an unfortunate precedent in more
ways than one. Here are four takeaways
from the charges against him. First, the corruption allegations are, in fact,
highly questionable, and it’s hard to believe they can be sustained in a fair
court of law.
What Bibi’s Indictment Means | by Avi Bell, Tablet Magazine | The attorney general’s misguided
decision to charge the prime minister with bribery and breach of trust may
spell trouble for the future of Israeli democracy. The criminal charges against
the prime minister lack legal substance, and they threaten both the rule of law
in Israel and the health of its democracy. Professor Alan Dershowitz said as
much in several op-eds and an open letter to Mandelblit in recent months, and
he is absolutely right.
Violence
Palestinians: Marching Backwards as Israel Prepares for Elections | by Khaled Abu Toameh , Gatestone Institute | Instead of marching Palestinians towards democracy, the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas have chosen the model of totalitarianism as a way of governing their people.
Anti-Semitism
IPT Concludes Two-Part Video
Series About Anti-Semitism on the Left | The Investigative Project on Terrorism | Polling shows a growing
divide within the Democratic Party when it comes to support for Israel. he
party's younger, more liberal members increasingly support the Palestinians
more than Israel, which could lead to changes in the party platform, and
perhaps, U.S. support. Three new members of Congress are amplifying that
agenda.
Progressive Replacement
Theology | Liel Leibovitz, Tablet
Magazine | Why the left is repeating Christianity’s most dangerous historical
mistakes, and why it’s very, very bad for the Jews
The United Church of Christ
Wrongfully Attacks Israel |
by Denis MacEoin, Gatestone Institute | Mistakes and falsehoods such as those
we encounter throughout the UCC's misnamed guide to "Promoting a Just
Peace in Palestine-Israel", each one seemingly trivial, cannot be
dismissed as the results of a moment's inattention. Much effort has gone into
the writing of this Guide, and factual errors, which take up so much of the
text, are clearly the result of conscious assumptions that have never been
checked against reputable facts.
Social Media Mind Control
Fatah under fire for
inflammatory Facebook posts | Ron Cantor, Messiah's
Mandate | The Palestinian president’s party is under fire for incendiary posts
on its Facebook page that include drawings of Jews being murdered and praise
for terrorists who killed dozens of Israelis, including children, among other
inflammatory posts.
Facebook Still Championing
Blasphemy Laws | Judith Bergman, Gatestone
| Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg now appears to be more intent on censorship than
ever. In a recent memo, written in mind-numbing, bureaucratic obfuscatese, he
described his plan to discourage "borderline content", a concept
appearing to be so meaningless as to encompass anything that Zuckerberg and
Facebook might ever want to censor..... It should, however, be of little
surprise that CAIR executives are able to wield such power over social media.
High Note
Israeli Christians Call for
Esther-Like Fast After Syria Pullout Decision | CBN News | The fast was initiated by Succat Hallel, a 24/7 house of
prayer overlooking the Temple Mount. "There are some urgent developments
in the Middle East that are so important that we believe decisions will be made
in these next two months that could affect the destiny—the fate of millions of
people in this region and even the future of Israel," Rick Ridings,
founder of Succat Hallel, explains in a video.
Sea of Galilee level rises after heavy weekend rain | The water level of Israel’s main freshwater reservoir has risen by an additional 7.5 centimeters (three inches) following this weekend’s heavy rain, the national Water Authority said on Sunday.

The Kedushah Crisis | Sexual
abstinence of married men roils the Hasidic sects of Gur, Slonim, and Toledot
Aharon | By Benjamin Brown, Tablet
| Kedushah (holiness) was developed as a pietistic ideal for the virtuous few,
encouraging married men to limit to the minimum the frequency and modes of
sexual intercourse with their wives. Today, the Hasidic groups of Gur, Slonim,
and Toledot Aharon (Toldes Aaron) have radicalized this ideal by imposing it on
the community as a whole.
