Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on January 22, 2016

Travel Day I am traveling to the US today. What's unusual is that I am traveling without a computer (a new one awaits me there), and for most of the day I will not have WiFi access either.

To the extent that I can post anything, it will likely be to my Twitter account, which you can follow here.

When I arrive in the US (in the evening US Eastern time), I will have access to the Twitter account on my phone, and will try to post more. But I will not have a computer before Monday morning.

See you soon!

The 'Palestine' Liberation Organization (PLO) has slammed Republican Presidential candidate and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tx) for calling it a terror organization (Hat Tip: Jack W via Director Blue).

"There has been no administration to date that has supported Iran and the Palestinian terrorist organizations more than the Obama administration," Stethem said in his prepared testimony.

"If there is a party to be condemned for their actions, it is Israel, which continues to defy international law with impunity because of the blind support it receives from people like Senator Cruz and other senators," the organization said. "It is time for Israel apologists on the Hill to put U.S. national interests ahead of those of the current extreme right-wing government in Israel."

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Mudar Zahran).

Hmmm.

The group was founded to 'break down barriers' between Jews and Arabs, and is described as a forum for Jews and Arabs to meet and discuss their world views. The goal is to create a 'pluralistic, equal and inclusive' student body.

The first meeting will include a 'warming' session in which the group will break off into pairs so that a Jew and an Arab can get to know each other better. The group describes itself as non-political, and is sponsored in cooperation with the Student Union.

But there's more to this than meetings. The notice I pasted above, in Hebrew and Arabic, informs the students that those who attend these 'warming' sessions will each receive a NIS 4,000 (a bit more than $1,000) grant in exchange for attending 84 academic hours' worth of sessions (one three-hour weekly meeting on 28 Tuesdays during the course of the year. The group is limited to 14 students - seven Jews and seven Arabs - and is moderated by a Jewish woman and an Arab woman.

Hebrew University is a public institution, which means that this program is being paid for by the Israeli government, and by you, the Israeli taxpayer (and overseas donor).

For those of you who wonder why this kind of program is problematic, please consider this article published in the New York Daily News by Dr. Daniel Gordis three weeks ago:

The police officer was seriously wounded in the incident, which was obviously deliberate.

Let's go to the videotape.
