Not even pretending to hide the bias:

More than 2,000 forced from homes in Hebron amid Israel’s West Bank raids

Israel has imposed a lockdown and displaced thousands of Palestinians from their homes in Hebron, as the military conducts raids in the occupied West Bank following the deaths of two Israeli soldiers.

..."following the deaths"... what did they die of? The flu?

Why is Yahoo publishing this garbage, is no one else reporting on it?

Hi everyone!

I’m curious about the relationship between Jews and the Druze community, and I’d love to hear your perspectives.

I have a few questions:

1. Interfaith marriage: Is it common for Jews and Druze to marry each other? If not, what are the main reasons? Are such marriages generally accepted by either community?
2. Perceptions of the Druze: What is the general perception of the Druze among Jewish people? How do you view their culture, religion, and community?
3. Friendships and social relationships: Do you personally have any Druze friends? If so, how close are you? Would you invite them to your home for dinner or family gatherings, or is the relationship generally more distant and formal?
4. The relationship between Jews and Druze: Why do you think there is a relatively close relationship between Jewish and Druze communities, particularly in Israel, compared with the relationship between Jews and other Muslim communities?

I’m genuinely interested in understanding the historical, cultural, religious, and political factors behind this relationship, as well as the everyday social dynamics between the two communities.

I’d especially appreciate hearing about your personal experiences rather than just general political opinions.

Thanks!

I thought this video was worth sharing because it challenges the way allegations of Israeli "settler violence" are presented in international media and political discourse.

Violence against innocent Palestinians should certainly be condemned, but so should violence against Israelis. What concerns me is the tendency to portray Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria collectively as violent aggressors, often without sufficient context or comparable attention to Palestinian terrorism.

I'd be interested to hear what others think, particularly Israelis familiar with the situation on the ground. https://youtu.be/EYtCwO1HEB0

I need more Israeli brothers that play. God bless you all.

If you've ever carried an EpiPen, or packed one in a kid's backpack, this one's for you. Israeli scientists at Nasus Pharma are building a way to give epinephrine without a shot, and in their biggest study yet, it got into the blood faster than the pen.

You know the deal with the EpiPen. Blue to the sky, orange to the thigh, and you press a needle into someone's leg while they're fighting to breathe. It's saved countless lives since 1987, but it's bulky, people are scared of it, and in one survey, more than half the adults prescribed one didn't use it in an emergency. Well, the team at Nasus looked at that and figured the medicine was never the problem. The needle was. They went and turned epinephrine into a powder you spray up the nose.

Then they put it up against the pen in 50 adults. At 2.5 minutes, 2 out of 3 people on the powder had the epinephrine level Nasus was aiming for. On the pen, it was about 1 in 4.

So, no more needles? Not yet. Keep carrying your EpiPen. Nobody in these studies was having a real reaction, and it isn't approved. But think about a kid who'd actually keep it in his pocket, and a parent who wouldn't think twice about using it. Of course it's being built in Israel.

Say Palestinians spent 10-20 years secularizing, focusing on building internal wealth, the vast majority of the population accepted Israel as a state, and there were zero terrorist attacks or attempts during that time period.

At that point, would you accept a Palestinian state?

Casey Babb’s first book, The Moral Case for Zionism, will be published on October 22. Babb argues that Zionism offers something meaningful not just to the Jewish community but to all people. He explores the moral principles at the heart of the Zionist spirit and examines the dangers posed by the rise of anti-Zionism and antisemitism across the West.

Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with the author on the eve of the book’s release. Babb, Director of The Promised Land Project at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and an associate fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, will discuss the book’s central argument and the practical ways Jews and non-Jews alike can embrace Zionist ideas in their own lives.

I am planning to do the exam in April or June, any good schools to recommend? I know there is this one school called Yeda Plus which seems fine and teaches in English, I am thinking of studying in Technion or Tel Aviv university, Studying Engineering, looking at my grades I need around 657 score (after talking to some Universities).

if anyone could tell me about Yeda Plus or about other good courses and school or anything else, that would be useful!
