Many people want to boycott Israel in service to the Palestinian cause, but don’t quite know where to begin. Our friend Hananya Naftali, a Messianic Jewish soldier in the Israeli army, has provided this helpful video guide to aid you in rooting out anything even remotely Israeli in your life. For the sake of objectivity, Naftali also wanted to list Palestinian products and inventions, but couldn’t find any. Originally posted by Israel Today Magazine.

The Knesset passed a bill designed to protect Arab Christians who enlist in the Israeli army. The law, which includes an extended prison sentence for anyone who tries to dissuade a Christian Arab from serving in the IDF, became necessary in the face of stiff opposition and violent attacks against the Christian soldiers. Much of the hostility towards the Christian soldiers comes from Arab members of Israeli Knesset. Knesset member Aida Touma-Suliman of the Joint Arab List attacked the bill during the debate. “They want to drag the Christian Arab population into volunteering for the army that is occupying their…
Israeli security officials on Sunday thwarted a major terrorist attack when they identified and detained a Palestinian man attempting to board the city’s light rail with a bag full of pipe bombs. The incident occurred along the busy pedestrian mall on Jaffa Road in downtown Jerusalem. A security guard for the light rail noticed the suspect standing behind one of the pick-up points with a large bag. Feeling uneasy about his demeanor, the guard asked to examine the man’s bag and quickly noticed what appeared to be a bomb. Police responded to the scene immediately and arrested the would-be terrorist…
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday declared on Twitter that the party’s platform is now more pro-Israel than it has ever been. Indeed, the Republican Party’s Platform Committee did make surprising policy changes that no previous candidate would or could have represented. The new platform erases all reference to a “two-state solution” and utterly rejects “the false notion that Israel is an occupier.” It further states that Jerusalem is the “indivisible” capital of the Jewish state. “Our party is proud to stand with Israel now and always,” that portion of the Republican platform concludes. The changes must still…
Sanusey lives with his family in a small town south of the capital of Gambia, the smallest country on the African continent. At the age of three months, doctors diagnosed him with a severe heart defect.

Sanusey arrived in Israel last month along with three other children from the Islamic Republic of Gambia to undergo life-saving heart surgery courtesy of the Israeli NGO Save a Child’s Heart.

Iran last week reiterated that it is putting the pieces in place for its own version of the “final solution” to the problem of Israel and Jewish sovereignty. “If the Zionists make a wrong move, all the occupied territories will come under attack from dedicated fighters and, Allah willing, the territories will be liberated,” declared Gen. Hossein Salami, deputy chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. To achieve this grisly goal, Salami noted that Iran and its ally, Hezbollah, have deployed “100,000 missiles that are ready to hit Israel.” Those missiles are in southern Lebanon, where the UN promised to prevent another…
Our friend in the Israeli army, Hananya Naftali, has produced another video clip aiming to bring some truth to the question of how Israeli soldiers treat Palestinian Arabs. There’s a lot of misinformation out there in this regard, and it’s instructive to get some first-hand perspective from an Israeli soldier who also happens to be a fellow believer. As Naftali points out in the video, where else in the world can a terrorist stab a soldier, be neutralized and then have the victim’s fellow soldiers provide medical attention to that same terrorist? Naftali goes on to note that during his…
The Israeli Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) and the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) successfully conducted an Israeli and American missile systems integration. The first of its kind “Integrated Ground Test”, tested the real-time communication between missile defense systems in Israel and the US where a simulated scenario in which thousands of rockets and missiles from Iran and Lebanon are simultaneously fired at Israel. The multi-tiered missile defense systems worked together to eliminate the threats. The focus was on connecting the missile defense systems to the US radar systems to detect and eliminate the projectiles. The systems tested were the Arrow…
A Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court judge ruled that Shouting “Allahu akbar” – Arabic for “God is greater” at non-Muslims on the Temple Mount constitutes a disturbance of the peace. From experience it is known that shouting the chant other than in times of prayer is often used during riots and usually accompanies violence and terrorism. This was the summary of the ruling of the Jerusalem magistrate when he declared that yelling “Allahu akbar” at non-Muslims on the Temple Mount is now illegal. The ruling came at the end of a five-year-old case involving Sahar Ghazzawi, an Arab detained by police after…
