Monday night May 20, only a few short hours after the conclusion of the Ilhan Must Go Demonstration and Billboard Launch in Times Square, the event received air time on The Ingraham Angle.
The full segment can be viewed HERE.
Thank you to Fox News Channel and Laura Ingraham for devoting much needed attention to this important issue.
One month after Moshe Herzlich paid the tax bill on his new home in the Tapuah West outpost, security forces arrived at his door and demolished his pink stucco one-story structure, nestled on a Samaria hilltop.
“They don’t treat terrorists this way,” said Herzlich, who was surprised to find a large contingent of IDF soldiers and border police at his door in the morning. He had not been served with a demolition order, he said – the security forces said that one had been faxed to him.
Full story HERE.
Armored vehicles were transferred to the Palestinian Authority security services as a gift from the EU and were reportedly sent to Judea and Samaria through Jordan, with Israel’s approval.
Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan attacked the defense establishment decision stating that the transfer is a “total abandonment of human life and taking an unacceptable risk both of the lives of IDF soldiers and of the lives of the residents of Judea and Samaria.”
Many were hopeful that the recent transfer of Qatari money to Gaza would, at least temporarily, calm the terrorist organizations.
Sadly, this is not the case. The firing of balloons into Israel is only increasing. At least three fires have broken out since the morning hours in the Be’eri and Shokeda forests and near Kibbutz Nahal Oz.
In addition to the incendiary balloons, Gaza schools were closed and approximately 10,000 Arabs were called to riot and mark Nakba Day along the Gaza security fence.
At an event on Tuesday marking the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted that the Jewish people are “the only people on Earth who live in the same land where they lived 3,000 years ago, with the same capital, the same language and the same religion.” What makes the feat even more extraordinary, he added, is that the Jews were exiled from the land and came back to it.
3,000 years old and 71 years young! AFSI is thrilled to be celebrating Israel @ 71. It was this time last year that our Chizuk Mission Trip had the privilege to be in Israel and join in the festivities for Israel @70. In a little over two weeks our group will be travelling to Israel and looks forward to visits throughout the land, meeting with the people….and the enjoying the food!

“The Israeli’s have every right to defend themselves.” ~ Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
This past weekend, Israelis living in the south of the country woke up to yet another barrage of rockets from Gaza. Between Saturday May 4 and Sunday May 5, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorist groups launched over 600 rockets and mortars at Israelis from Gaza (as of May 5th at 6 pm). Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs report HERE.
The 4 Israeli civilians killed were: Moshe Agadi (58), Ziad Alhamada (49), Moshe Feder (67) and Rabbi Pinchas Menachem Pashwazman (21).

We at AFSI support Israel’s right to keep its citizens safe by any means it deems best. We hope in the next round, and unfortunately it appears there will be one, that Israel will not hesitate to use whatever means necessary to insure its people a safe homeland.
The Israeli Air Force carried out a series of strikes north of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday night in response to hundreds of incendiary balloons that Hamas launched at Israel earlier that day.
Sirens were sounded early Thursday morning in the Shaar Hanegev and Sdot Negev regional councils in southern Israel.
The IDF confirmed that two launches had been identified from Gaza toward Israel.
The rockets appear to have exploded in open areas, without causing injuries or damages.
The IDF responded that, “Hamas bears full responsibility for all that is taking place in the Gaza Strip, as well as all things coming out of it.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu promised community leaders in 2017 that his government would build bypass roads at key locations in Judea and Samaria.
Today that promise has been kept. Plans for paving bypass roads in Judea and Samaria allowing Israeli residents to avoid dangerous Arab villages have been approved.
Over 500 people gathered in front of the NY Times building on 8th Avenue @ 40th St. in NYC to protest against the vile, obscene cartoon that had appeared over the weekend in the International edition of the NY Times. It depicted a blind Trump, wearing dark glasses and a yarmulke, being led by a dog with the face of Netanyahu. The outrage over this Der Sturmer type of hatred prompted grass roots organizers, Jeff Wiesenfeld, Hillary Markowitz, Helen Freedman and Judy Kadish of AFSI, to quickly call for the protest at the Times. Starting time was scheduled for 5:30, but hundreds of people had gathered by 4:30. Jeff Wiesenfeld, the MC, opened the program with a denunciation of the Times for its 120 year old campaign of slander and bias against Israel and the Jews. Although the Times attempted to lay the blame for the cartoon on one careless editor, we know that the entire newspaper and its owners are responsible.
The impressive roster of speakers, including Assemblyman Dov Hikind, Prof. Alan Dershowitz, Rabbi Elie Abadie, and Alex Landsman, all sounded the same note in different ways. The shameful record of the Times, the evil words leading to evil deeds such as the latest terror attack in Poway, CA, the Times’ support for the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel Congressional trio of Omar, AOC, and Tlaib, and the need to actively combat the rising anti-Semitism in America and world wide, were all laid out in detail.
Another theme that the crowd seemed to enjoy was that of the duplicity and uselessness of our Democratic elected officials. Where was the “Shomer Yisrael” – Schumer, on this issue? Where was Nadler? Engel? Any Democrats? There was only disgraceful silence. It was agreed that they would have to be voted out of office if possible. On the other hand, the crowd was urged to contact President Trump and PM Netanyahu, expressing concern about their depiction in the blasphemous cartoon and offering full support to them.
AFSI’s Charlie Bernhaut again made powerful signs accusing the Times of having blood on its hands and finding it guilty for its 120 year record of anti-Semitism. Hillary Markowitz did an amazing job preparing professional signs and arranging for the sound and stage. A large contingent of the press was present, due in part to the superb efforts of our PR professional. The protest was covered prominently in the New York Post and major Israeli media outlets. It will be interesting to see if it gets covered in other US or international mainstream media or whether the fake news philosophy will prevail.
