‘A Night to Honor Israel’ turns out hundreds of fervent Christian supporters
Pastor John Hagee was the main draw with his spirited sermons and preacher’s delivery, though former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley proved a powerful voice for the Jewish state.
(July 23, 2021 / JNS) Jews are rarely so uninhibited in their support of Israel as evangelical Christians in the United States, whose support for the Jewish state during the weekend’s Christians United for Israel Summit in Dallas, seemed to be a testament of faith.
The organization’s founder, evangelical Pastor John Hagee, set the tone during his address to more than 700 donors and leaders of the organization in person in a
Un acuerdo entre la UNESCO, el Congreso Judío Mundial y Facebook amplía a 12 idiomas la educación sobre el Holocausto
Recientemente, la etiqueta #HitlerWasRight fue tendencia en las redes sociales. Un claro indicio de que a nivel mundial sigue existiendo una fuerte convicción de que el genocidio de más de seis millones de judíos por parte del régimen nazi alemán durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue lo correcto. Las narrativas antisemitas similares, tanto manifiestas como más insidiosas, se están extendiendo rápidamente en Internet. Un estudio reciente del Instituto Diálogo Estratégico encontró “#Holohoax”, que niega la verdad histórica del Holocausto, en 36 grupos de Facebook que sumaban más de 360.000 seguidores, así como referencias en Reddit, Twitter y YouTube, todas creadas entre junio de 2018 y julio

Judoca argelino renuncia a Olímpicos para evitar enfrentarse a un israelí
Enlace Judío – Un día antes de la apertura oficial de los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio, el judoka argelino Fethi Nourine se retiró del certamen deportivo para evitar la posibilidad de enfrentarse a un competidor israelí.
Según recoge The Times of Israel, Nourine tomó la decisión después de que fuera determinado el jueves por la mañana un enfrentamiento con Tohar Butbul en la segunda ronda de la competencia de judo masculino de menos de 73 kilogramos, si fuera a avanzar más allá de su primera pelea.
“No tuvimos suerte con el sorteo. Tenemos un oponente israelí y por eso tuvimos que retirarnos. Tomamos la decisión correcta”, dijo el entrenador de Nourine, Amar Ben Yaklif, según medios argelinos.
United Church of Christ accuses Israel of using ‘imperialistic theology’ against Palestinians
The American Jewish Committee panned the resolution, saying it “demonizes Israel, fails to offer a credible path to Israeli-Palestinian peace and undermines advances in Christian-Jewish relations.”
(July 19, 2021 / JNS) The leadership of the United Church of Christ adopted a resolution at its General Synod slamming Israel, accusing it of using “imperialistic theology” as justification of its policies towards the Palestinians.

Withdrawal from Gaza - Full Documentary
Withdrawal from Gaza tells the sad story of the unilateral Israeli disengagement from Gaza in August 2005.
Approximately 8,700 Israelis settled there after the 1967 Six Day War and establishing over 20 vibrant Jewish communities including the Gush Katif settlements.
Through agriculture they produced about $100 million annually until the day the Israeli government decided all the inhabitants had to leave.

Pope Francis restricts Latin Mass that caused controversy with Jews
(JTA) — Pope Francis has restricted the use of the Latin Mass, a form of the liturgy favored by traditionalist Catholics that calls for the conversion of the Jews and that until 2008 included a reference to Jewish “blindness.”
Francis’ declaration on Friday is a repudiation of an earlier decree by his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, who in 2007 made it easier to use the Latin Mass. At the time of that declaration, Jewish groups expressed concern because the Latin Mass recited on Good Friday included a “prayer for the Jews” that called for their conversion to Christianity and referred to the Jews’ “blindness.”
Jewish groups worried at the time that Benedict’s decision signified a retreat from the Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II, which declared in a 1965 document
Biden’s reward to UNRWA for bad behavior
Every syllable of the “Framework for Cooperation” between the United States and the U.N agency is a lie, but journalists were bowled over by the inclusion of “anti-Semitism” in the document’s list of false denunciations.
(July 20, 2021 / JNS) The United States transferred $135 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) on Saturday. This was in addition to the nearly $33 million that it gave to the organization in May to help the Gaza Strip, ravaged by Hamas rockets and Israel’s response to them during “Operation Guardian of the Walls.”
Bennett habla con directivo de Unilever tras decisión de Ben & Jerry’s; promete respuesta enérgica de Israel contra todo boicot
Enlace Judío – El primer ministro Naftali Bennett habló con el director de la compañía Unilever, propietaria de Ben & Jerry’s, y protestó por la decisión de esta de no vender más helados en los asentamientos israelíes en Judea y Samaria (Cisjordania).
La conversación se produjo después de que Ben & Jerry’s anunció el lunes que ya no distribuirá sus productos en el “territorio palestino ocupado“, aparentemente refiriéndose a Judea y Samaria y Jerusalén Este.
La decisión entrará en vigor a fines de 2022, cuando expire su contrato con el actual fabricante y distribuidor israelí.

Why is support for ‘freedom of worship for Jews’ on the Temple Mount so controversial?
Bennett’s statement deserves support, but it will have diplomatic and political repercussions. If he backs down, the consequences will involve more than the right to prayer at a holy site.
(July 19, 2021 / JNS) Maybe it was just the product of the ongoing civil war between the different political parties on the Israeli right. Or maybe it was just time that an Israeli prime minister said something that, in a saner world, wouldn’t be considered controversial. But whatever motivated Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to
Contradicciones al interior del gobierno por el status del Monte del Templo
Naftalí Bennett dio a entender que los judíos podrían rezar en el Monte del Templo, pero Yair Lapid desmintió cualquier cambio.
El status del Monte del Templo volvió a estar en el centro de la agenda pública luego de que distintos actores de la coalición oficial se refirieran a él.

49 cisterns tell the story of the destruction of the Temple, and much more
The network of tunnels beneath the Temple Mount has been the subject of much mystery and controversy, but the cisterns – some of which are linked to biblical sources – are just as fascinating.
BY NADAV SHRAGAI
(July 18, 2021 / Israel Hayom) Like a well-kept secret, the cisterns of the Temple Mount are concealed, barred and padlocked by the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf. In ancient times, the cisterns refreshed pilgrims arriving at the Temple. A few originally functioned as shaft graves or quarries from which stones were carved to build the Temple, filling with water only years later.
According to archaeologists’ calculations, to transport 26,417 gallons of water from the Gihon Spring 2,624 feet to one small cistern on the Mount would have taken at

The Lapid-Bennett government’s foreign policy ‘doctrine’
Under Yair Lapid’s stewardship, Israel’s foreign policy isn't based on Israel's national interests, but on sucking up to the cool kids—the progressives in America, the jetsetters in Brussels and the Palestinians.
(July 18, 2021 / JNS) From Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s stunning Knesset assault against his predecessor Benjamin Netanyahu, through Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s trip to Brussels and his speech before the Global Forum on Anti-Semitism, this week the Lapid-Bennett government’s foreign policy doctrine was fully exposed.
One of the novel aspects of Bennett and Lapid’s governing arrangements is that

Lebanon's Gordian knot could strangle it
Frustration in Lebanon as residents search for essential items
Beirut, Lebanon (CNN) - "Lebanon moves into greater danger." "Persevering in destroying Lebanon." "Arab and international community fear chaos."
These were the headlines splashed across the front pages of Lebanon's major newspapers Friday, a day after Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri -- a previous holder of the office -- abandoned his bid to form the crisis-ridden country's next government.
Across Lebanon's vast political divide, disagreements are plentiful but there is consensus on two apparent truths: that Lebanon's confessional power-sharing system is no longer tenable. And that the withdrawal of Hariri, a long-time Sunni
In apparent world first, IDF deployed drone swarms in Gaza fighting
Military used ‘flocks’ of small aircraft, all communicating with each other, to locate targets, direct airstrikes, highlighting advances in artificial intelligence-driven combat.
Mass swarms of dozens or hundreds of drones guided by artificial intelligence are widely considering to be one of the more worrying weapons making their way into the modern battlefield, one with the potential to be far cheaper and thus more available to non-state actors than other advanced munitions.

Scientists Have Revived Extinct Israeli Wheat Strains. Now Comes the Taste Test
For the first time, a large, commercial flour mill has joined scientists and other experts to revive the lost varieties of wheat of the Land of Israel.
Early in the afternoon, shortly after the dozens of invited guests arrived, David “Friedy” Friedman, chief food technologist of Stybel Flour Mills, and the company’s chief baker, Yuval Alhadeff, arranged loaves of bread for tasting on a round table. The handiwork of four bakers, the breads were made of white and whole-wheat
La profesora musulmana que investiga el Holocausto
Ni siquiera intentes catalogar a Mehnaz Afridi. Ella es una musulmana de Pakistán y profesora de estudios religiosos, que desde el 2011 se desempeña como directora del Centro de Educación sobre el Holocausto, el Genocidio y las Relaciones Interreligiosas. Ella investiga y enseña sobre el Holocausto, el genocidio y el islam desde una perspectiva multicultural.
El año pasado, debido al coronavirus, no tuvo lugar la Marcha por la Vida en Polonia y Afridi fue invitada a participar en una ceremonia virtual de la Marcha por la Vida Internacional. Así fue como llegué a conocerla. Es una mujer cariñosa e impresionante. Su libro, Shoah Trough Muslim Eyes (El Holocausto a través de ojos musulmanes, 2017, editado por Michael Berenbaum), ofrece una perspectiva única y fascinante de este capítulo de la historia. En esta época de conflictos y
