My husband left his wallet in a taxi right before Shabbat. The company didn't answer (already closed for Shabbat). Jerusalemites are renowned for their generosity & honesty, so am not the least bit surprised that the driver safeguarded it. Thank you Mohammed.

If Jesus - who was Jewish - was a Palestinian and lived in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, then you're saying Jews are indigenous to what is today called Palestine and Jews have a right to live in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Israel. Glad you cleared this up.
Folks reported my tweet that Jesus was a Palestinian. 🤣 twitter was obviously like this doesn’t violate our standards. It’s also true. Jesus was born in Bethlehem which is in Palestine. Move on.

Wapo: A group of Palestinian men prevented a hearse from backing up to the hospital door, saying they were intent on carrying Shireen Akleh's body on their shoulders. Akleh’s brother beseeched them: “For God’s sake, let us put her in the car and finish the day,” he said.

Regardless of what you think about Netanyahu's decision to bar the lawmakers, one look at their itinerary reveals they had no intention of trying to get to know Israelis or Israel. It's an "Israel as occupier" trip. No more, no less.
MoC are frequently asked to visit Israel to “see things for ourselves.”
But Netanyahu choosing to ban the only 2 Muslim women in Congress from entering tells the US that only *some* Americans are welcome to Israel, not all.
Trump is exporting his bigotry &making matters worse.

Israelis are noting that Erekat's hospitalization in an Israeli hospital violates the Palestinian government's recently stepped up boycott of Israel and Israeli hospitals. I'm curious why Erekat is an exception.
Following his contraction of COVID-19, and due to the chronic health problems he faces in the respiratory system, Dr. Erekat's condition now requires medical attention in a hospital. He is currently being transferred to a hospital in Tel Aviv.

The delegation had no reason to inform the hosts. Accessibility is a given - and the conference was touted as wheelchair accessible.

This is wrong on so many levels. First and foremost accessibility, but it screams "unsafe" in the event of an emergency. If people have to flee quickly, such as during a terror attack, they'll have to run into the street to flee. Just seeing this makes me anxious.

Had the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world not rejected the UN vote for a Jewish state and an Arab state, both Israelis and Palestinians would be celebrating 74 years of statehood this week.

Dear J Street: Move to Israel, pay taxes, vote, and spend three years in the IDF and a month every year in reserve duty. Then, perhaps your fellow Israelis will be interested in what you have to say.
The majority of American Jews oppose annexation.
Show you're part of that majority and TAKE ACTION to

Funny you mention apartheid. The supermarkets where I shop, the buses I travel on, the parks I walk in and the water fountains I drink from are open to anyone who wishes to use them. I live in Jerusalem. You?

Actor Ricky Whittle is a very thoughtful man. The first 4.5 minutes of this interview are about race, the challenges he's faced, and why he defines himself as biracial. One of the best celebrity interviews I've ever watched.
