OUR ISRAELI CONNECTION
Staring Down the Devil at the University of Michigan
A first-hand account of how one of America’s elite schools became the
latest flash point of anti-Israel activism and anti-Semitic intimidation.
Thetower.org reports: When I first set foot on the University of Michigan campus four years ago, I felt like I was prepared for anything… What I was not prepared for was a campus community polarized and paralyzed by a global political issue that had little to do with life at Ann Arbor. I was not prepared to be told that, if I cared about human rights, I could not support Israel. I was not prepared to be told that my community was racist. I was not prepared to see my fellow students attacked with anti-Semitic slurs. And I was most definitely not prepared to be told that “anyone wearing the Israeli army uniform is a Ku Klux Klansman who does not deserve any place at any table in polite society because they are racist killers trying to break the back of Palestine, and they have succeeded.” Read more.
News from The Israel Project
A suspected terrorist attack on an Israeli family driving in the West Bank – assailants riddled the family’s car with bullets as it was en route to Passover dinner on Monday – has reportedly claimed the life of one man, left his wife and child injured, and thrown into doubt efforts to put Israeli-Palestinian peace talks back on track.
Gaza-based Palestinian groups on Tuesday celebrated the West Bank terror attack that the day before had killed one Israeli and injured two more, while other Palestinian organizations – including the internationally-backed Fatah faction that controls the Palestinian Authority (PA) – generated controversy by pointedly declining to condemn the atrocity.
Reuters reported on Friday that Iranian oil exports “have surged to their
highest in 20 months” – far above the “sanctions cap” outlined by the interim Joint Plan of Action (JPA) that granted financial relief to the Islamic Republic – per revised estimates for February global crude imports published by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
English-language Palestinian media reported on Thursday that, “thanks
to support from Arab and Islamic groups,” the Executive Board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) had voted to dispatch an expert mission to Jerusalem, the latest in a serious of anti-Israel diplomatic moves that the UN body has launched since the Palestinians joined it in 2011.

Muslim Brotherhood Forming a Political Party Here in America

How do you decide who to marry? (written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.

No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.
