Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Quoted):
"This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying.

A Jewish ambassador to Israel who is more sympathetic to Israel than to the Palestinians, and who will respect the wishes of the Israeli public and government? Shocking!
I'm not being sarcastic. It really is shocking. Critics of Israel are so accustomed to Jewish ambassadors who harass and undermine the Israeli government, that the prospect of someone completely different has left them frothing at the mouth.

"Israel categorically rejects the despicable anti-Israeli resolution at the UN, and will not adhere to it.
While the Security Council does nothing to prevent the massacre of half a million people in Syria, it is shamefully singling out Israel - the only democracy in the Middle East.
The Obama administration not only failed to defend Israel from this harassment at the UN, it cooperated with it behind the scenes."

Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, what I'm about to say is going to shock you: Israel has a bright future at the UN.
Now I know that hearing that from me must surely come as a surprise, because year after year I've stood at this very podium and slammed the UN for its obsessive bias against Israel. And the UN deserved every scathing word - for the disgrace of the General Assembly that last year passed 20 resolutions against the democratic state of Israel and a grand total of three resolutions against all the other countries on the planet.

Since late June, Hamas' aggressive campaign against our Jewish homeland has sent more than 1,700 rockets into Israel from Gaza, placing the lives and security of more than four million of Israel's residents at risk. But I couldn't be more proud of our donors who have shown deep compassion and empathy for our extended Israeli family during this crisis. Contributions have resulted in some 30 mobile bomb shelters for residents in Halutza and throughout the Negev and the purchase of four new fire trucks for Israeli firefighters. Thanks to the support of Jewish National Fund (JNF), volunteers are making their way to bomb shelters across the south engaging children in programs and activities to relieve their stress, and our JNF Indoor Recreation Center in Sderot is utilized by up to 1,800 children and families a day as a safe place to play and get together.

A large arsenal of deadly weapons were found on the Iranian Ship on the way to Gaza. |
Israeli commandos seized control of a cargo ship carrying dozens of medium range rockets early Wednesday that officials say was bound for Gaza.
The ship carried Syrian-made M-302 rockets with a range of up to 200 kilometers – or about 125 miles, Israel Defense Forces say. They would have been capable of reaching nearly all of Israel had they reached Gaza. Hizballah fired similar rockets at civilian communities during the 2006 conflict with Israel.

NEW YORK – The Jewish Diplomatic Corps (JDCorps), an international network of Jewish professionals engaged in public diplomacy, will be reintegrated into the structure of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) and see its global budget and staff boosted.

“This is a major investment into the future of Jewish organizational leadership. The Jewish Diplomats, or JDs, as they are called, are successful professionals in their late twenties or thirties who identify with Jewish and Israel-related issues.

MAZON, A Jewish Response To Hunger is the only national Jewish Organization devoted solely to eradicating hunger in the US and Israel. Founded twenty-eight years ago by Leonard Fine, this (then) grass roots organization, headquartered in Los Angeles, has grown into one of the preeminent hunger fighting groups in the country. As part of The Jewish Justice Round Table, and in concert with all of the leading interfaith hunger- fighters, MAZON (the Hebrew word for sustenance) has become known as a "go to" source for effective leadership and direction in this vital area. While not formed as a disaster emergency response group, or emergency relief organization, MAZON's over eighty thousand individual donors know that MAZON knows who has - boots on the ground -, and who does what best. They know how to direct donations for disaster relief so that the money goes to work immediately and most effectively.

In the month since Hurricane Sandy hit New York, tens of thousands of lives have been dramatically changed. As the crisis of the initial weeks slowly gives way to the long recovery and rebuilding effort, Met Council took a moment to shine the spotlight on the everyday individuals who performed heroic acts in the face of disaster.
On Tuesday, December 4, 2012, Met Council held the Hurricane Sandy Heroes Recognition Event at the Solo Event Space, 40 Broad Street. The cocktail reception highlighted inspirational stories of heroism from the frontlines of the storm's aftermath.
The evening would not have been possible without our generous sponsors: Solo Event Space, Solomon Langer, Royal Wine Corporation, The FoxStone Group, Abe Ziegermann, The Real Deal, HMS Associates, and The Judy Networks.
Honored heroes included Josh Commer, an EMT worker, and Debbie Burack, an art teacher, who were critical in bringing support to all of Staten Island. Since day one, Josh and Debbie have been pinpointing homes in need and providing whatever clean-up and construction services they can. Together they have led more than 80 volunteers to the relief efforts in Staten Island.

The Obama administration is baffled by the Egyptian government's response to the Sept. 11 attack on the American embassy in Cairo. It took President Mohamed Morsi two days to denounce the assault on the embassy, and even then he placed the blame on a hitherto unnoticed clip posted on YouTube rather than on the attackers. For two days after the flag-burning, Egyptian security was absent while demonstrators threatened the embassy. "A single security vehicle was imaged making an occasional and completely feckless foray through the gathering area, during the early morning of 13 September in Cairo. No Egyptian police or military or other security personnel were present," the Nightwatch letter observed Sept. 13. The Muslim Brotherhood called for mass protests against the Youtube clip, albeit "peaceful" ones.

NY -- On June 27, several Palestinian Authority (PA) officials accused Israel of having a policy to disseminate drugs among thousands of Palestinian youth. The District Governor of the cities of Ramallah and El-Bireh, Laila Ghannam, was reported as saying in a meeting with the Italian Consul-General, Giampaolo Cantini, that "the spread of the plague of drugs among the Palestinian young generation is a deliberate act by the Israeli occupation" and that the world's attention to "occupation's (i.e., Israel's) efforts to humiliate our youth, to break their willpower, and to distance them from their (Palestinian) cause and their principles, by spreading drugs among them...

Washington, DC - Michael Oren, Ambassador of Israel to the United States, outlined the "array" and "magnitude" of threats currently facing the State of Israel at the B'nai B'rith policy conference.
Calling Iran's nuclear ambitions "the greatest threat looming over our horizon" of monumental proportions, Oren outlined the multifaceted nature of the threat. A nuclear-armed Iran would not only have the ability to target any Israeli city, but it could open the door for terrorists and other Middle Eastern nations to access nuclear arms as well.
