The Exactly Correct Tweet of the Day

“The Biden Administration is snubbing our friends like Israel, and they are cozying up to enemies like Iran.”

Nor has Biden made the traditional telephone call to PM Netanyahu which an American president usually makes during the first week of his term.

Kiryat Shmona has become the vaccination star of Israel with 100% of the citizens over 60 years old receiving the vaccine.

A disturbing phenomenon is that an increasing number of Israelis are not going in for their second shot of vaccine. Some appear to be frightened by the severe side effects of the second shot while others have begin to doubt the vaccine’s efficacy–a doubt brought about by the fact that even as more and more people are vaccinated, the incidence of morbidity also increases.

The daily Palestinian terror update . . .

A Palestinian terrorist was shot and killed last night at a farm in Sde Ephraim after breaking through the community’s security barrier, running to a farmer’s home yelling Allahu Akbar, and trying to break the door down.

UNRWA begging again . . .

Now that the UAE and Bahrain have cut off virtually all money flowing to UNRWA, the PLO and Hamas have resolved that there is only one solution to the problem.

Have the Biden Administration supply the missing funds. 

Let’s see how long it takes for Joe Biden to pour money back into UNRWA in order for them to teach Palestinian children to hate Israelis. 

On that unhappy note, we bid you dear readers a Shabbat Shalom!
