At Israel’s Throat – HYPOCRITES
Why is writer Giulio Meotti stating that he is ashamed of his profession?
Meotti gives the mainstream media and other hypocrites constantly attacking Israel something to think about and he digs in deep.

How to Solve the Infiltrator Issue – Bypass the Supreme Court
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked says that the problem of the illegal infiltrators presents a golden opportunity to pass a law to restore the legislative powers of the Knesset which she believes have been usurped by the Supreme Court.
In a recent interview Shaked stated, “We want to suggest that the party heads convene the Ministerial Committee on Legislation next week.
Commission of Inquiry Launched by Netanyahu Against New Israel Fund
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the formation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry against the New Israel Fund (NIF) Tuesday evening in light of the organization’s exertion of pressure on the governments of Rwanda and Uganda not to abide by agreements with Israel to take in illegal infiltrators.
Im Tirtzu is an organization led by Doug Altabef and Matan Peleg and supported by Aharon Pulver and the Israel Independence Fund. Im Tirtzu has been particularly effective in unmasking and exposing various threats to Zionism and Israel by thoroughly researching the extensive funding of anti-Israeli NGOs by European governments and the New Israel Fund.
Excellent reading on this can be found in this 2014 article by Matan Peleg: “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing“, or visit this site for a full report on the same title.
IDF Preparing for Second Mass Protest Along Border Fence
With Friday only a day away, the IDF is preparing for more tension along the security fence. Gazans have amassed nearly 10,000 tires with the intention of burning them during a second mass protest along the Gaza security fence. Women and children were instructed to carry mirrors and lasers to distract IDF snipers at the fence. Their goal is to create a “wall of smoke” along the border ultimately obscuring vision of Israeli soldiers.
Both Israel and Palestinian groups have warned against the move, which could see both sides suffering an ecological disaster.

Anti-Israel Hate on American Campuses Runs Deep
Andrew Pessin, the once popular Connecticut College philosophy professor, was subjected to an academic smear campaign for his August 11, 2014 Facebook post in defense of Israel during Operation Protective Edge against Hamas.
Pessin resumed teaching last fall after an extended paid sabbatical and together with a colleague convinced the school to establish a Jewish Studies program. Recently, Pessin edited a new book with Fordham University’s Doron Ben-Atar on the general campus trend “Anti-Zionism on Campus: The University, Free Speech, and BDS.”

In England, Labour Anti-Semitism is Widespread
England’s Momentum organization has warned its supporters that accusations of antisemitism in Labour are not rightwing smears or conspiracy, saying unconscious anti-Jewish bias is “more widespread in the Labour party than many of us had understood even a few months ago”.
Germany’s New Generation of Anti-Semitism
The police registered 1,453 anti-Semitic incidents in Germany last year, more than in five of the previous seven years, and organizations including the American Jewish Congress say fewer than a third of such incidents get reported. Their stubborn persistence in the country where the Holocaust was plotted and executed is raising concern that decades of work to eradicate anti-Semitism are slowly being undone as prejudice against Jews spreads beyond its traditional home in the far right.
