• Palestinian officials have recently threatened that if Israel applies sovereignty in parts of the West Bank territories of Judea and Samaria, they will stop the Palestinian Authority from operating. This study examines the significance of this threat, regardless of the very low likelihood of this scenario.
• The very existence of the Palestinian Authority has been the most significant achievement of the Palestinian national movement, and the collapse of the PA could lead to a Hamas takeover of the Palestinian political system in the West Bank. In addition, the disintegration of the PA could harm the source of income for its many officials and leaders.

Research led by Tel Aviv University bio-mathematician discovers astonishingly simple means used by starved, persecuted Jews to stop typhus in its tracks

The Warsaw Ghetto, November 1941. Some 450,000 people, most of them Jews, were packed into an area of some 1.3 square miles, ten times the density of modern-day high-rise cities.

Typhus was spreading like wildfire through the dirty, crowded streets of the ghetto. Typhus, the Nazis said, was why a ghetto was necessary in the first place; Jews spread disease.

Ten of thousands lay ill and dying, and a harsh winter — when the sickness caused by the typhus bacterium is especially virulent — was still ahead.

Maybe Trump was right all along?

By Michael Ledeen, FPM

There are lots of stories telling about an impending deal between China and Iran, about which U.S. officials Keith Krach and Brian Hook issue a warning: “not so fast.”

To be sure, these two totalitarian countries have frequently indicated their intentions to merge their forces against the American and Israeli democracies, and play a hegemonic role in the Middle East and the South China sea. This goes back several decades, if not centuries, and is one of the Chinese historic goals: establishing a global presence.

No one should be surprised by the start of the mutual agreement:

Head of the national anti-corona campaign, Professor Ronni Gamzu, talks to Israel Hayom about how he plans to tackle community spread of the virus while allowing life to continue as normally as possible.

It is hard to count the achievements of Israel’s new corona czar, Professor Ronni Gamzu: medical studies at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and in Tel Aviv, a specialty in gynecology, director of the Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv, former director general of the Health Ministry, and a senior health policy analyst for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Now he has taken on what could be the biggest job of his life. Shortly before midnight Wednesday, he received a phone call from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who asked him to take on the unenviable role of coordinating the government’s war on the coronavirus epidemic in Israel.

June’s landmark Supreme Court decision on employment discrimination and LGBT rights will have consequences well beyond the workplace, touching on a number of cultural flash points.

The Court’s June 15 ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County announced that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which bans sex-based discrimination, also bars discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. A six-justice majority concluded that sex, homosexuality, and gender identity are inextricably bound up with one another, such that they cannot be distinguished.

You might not think of yourself as an axe murderer. But, according to today’s liberal-progressive propaganda, if you don’t wear a face mask in public you’re definitely, probably akin to an axe murderer.

The purveyors of fear propaganda don’t use that language. Instead, they say this: People who won’t wear a mask possess “so-called ‘Dark Triad’ traits — narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism.” And they are “less likely to comply with restrictions and engage in preventative measures against the pandemic.” So says Newsweek reporting on “two recent studies” that “looked at the relationship between personality traits and reactions to restrictions put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19.”

Overlooking a darkening front, head of the IDF’s Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Amir Baram, says Lebanon and Hezbollah are undergoing the worst crisis in their history. But an internal collapse there, he warns, will be just as dangerous for Israel

By Amos Harel, HAARETZ

Israel’s northern neighbor is in the throes of a vast economic shock that calls into question even the simplest, everyday operations. The resulting tension places Hezbollah in an uncomfortable situation. Concurrently, the organization also sustains occasion collateral damage from Israel’s partially covert military campaign against Iran in Syria.

No one who has been paying attention to our society should be shocked by this.

From Fox News’ Tucker Carlson nearly getting doxxed by The New York Times to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees being ostracized by the same sports league he helped enrich to a teacher in Michigan getting fired for saying Donald Trump is our president (which, last time I checked was an undeniable fact) publicly expressing any opinion that goes against the authors of The 1619 Project or the most extreme sexual deviance of Hollywood’s radical left endangers one’s privacy, career, and even physical well-being.

Today, if there is a silent mass of traditionalists and conservatives, they remain in hiding.

By Victor Davis Hanson,

In the 1960s and early ’70s, the U.S. was convulsed by massive protests calling for radical changes in the country’s attitudes on race, class, gender and sexual orientation. The Vietnam War and widespread college deferments were likely the fuel that ignited prior peaceful civil disobedience.

Sometimes the demonstrations became violent, as with the Watts riots of 1965 and the protests at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. Terrorists from the Weathermen (later called the Weather Underground) bombed dozens of government buildings.

The NYT, is an anti-Israel paper still read by so many Jews that it must share the blame for the decline in their support.for Israel. Op-ed.

By Howard Rotberg, INN

I have been arguing for some time that the New York Times has sunk into the Leftist-Islamist-Globalist alliance, a real threat to the Jewish people. Supposedly educated people have been reading it as factual in spite of overwhelming proof that it is just an arm of the Democratic Party, and the leftist progressive wing, at that.

This newspaper is read by a large number of Jews but it is so anti-Israel that it must share some of the blame that many Jewish liberals in America are less than supportive of Israel.

New York City and Tel Aviv are the two largest by population Jewish cities in the world. New York matters.
