Diplomacy aside- humans come first!
Israelis came to the aid of Indonesia by way of health services, supplies, and clean water after their series of natural disasters spanning from the summer. The underwent a volcano eruption, numerous tragic earthquakes taking a heavy toll on their tourism sector, and a deadly tsunami.
The groups on the ground were IsraAID and American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. The aid provided included health services, clean water, and supplies for survivors.
Despite having no official diplomatic relations with the country, Israel chooses people over policy. This is the idea behind “tikkun olam” in the Jewish religion, repairing the world where ever they can.
Israel is finally seeking out the compensation deserved for Jews expelled from their homes in Arab countries.
$250 billion USD is to be demanded from 7 Arab countries and Iran.
This demand followed 18 months of research into what assets were left behind when Jews were kicked out.
The first countries to be involved are Tunisia from which Israel seeks to attain $35 billion in compensation, and Libya with a total of $15 billion.
The funds would be distributed by the State via a special fund. For many who fled these countries, forced to leave most of their possessions behind, this announcement is a beacon of hope after years of injustices.
We ask the pointed question, “How can you champion a woman’s right to raise her voice and be heard, and then condemn those very women when they don’t agree with your opinion?”
Linda Sarsour, one of the BDS movements main players and board leader of the Women’s March, was caught as our “Hypocrite of the Week” for her rapidly expanding antisemitic quotes.
The Women’s March is analyzed for its deeper agenda which included curbing boycotts of Israel. It has been rocked in recent months by allegations of anti-Semitism by the group’s leaders, leading to divisions within the organization and the call for certain individuals such as Linda to step down.
The degrading cartoon pictured here was made by an unknown person referencing the fact that Linda’s last name translates to “roach” in Arabic. Now that is ironic.
