The IDF has bolstered its air defense array and called up reservists in preparation for a potential Iranian response to a strike in Syria earlier this week that killed several high-ranking Iranian military officials. Iran and its proxy Hezbollah have vowed to retaliate against Israel for the attack. “I won’t be surprised if Iran fires directly at Israel,” former Military Intelligence head Amos Yadlin said, citing a precedent set by a January missile strike carried out by Iran on neighboring Pakistan. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that Israel is “increasing preparedness” in the face of threats from across the Middle…

GUEST EDITORIAL By Tom Tradup Contributing Editor, ALL ISRAEL NEWS Vice President of News & Talk Programming, SALEM RADIO NETWORK / SRN NEWS On March 26, I joined 15 other guests at the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. for a private screening of the infamous videos shot by Hamas terrorists during their October 7 reign of terror. (We were all invited to Washington by ALL ISRAEL NEWS Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief Joel Rosenberg on the 172nd day of the current war.) Although I was honored to be among the invitees, I was not looking forward to seeing the footage captured…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Talks have restarted aimed at bringing top Israeli officials to Washington to discuss potential military operations in Gaza, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a planned visit this week because he was angry about the U.S. vote on a U.N. cease-fire resolution, the White House said Wednesday. “So we’re now working with them to find a convenient date that’s obviously going to work for both sides,” said press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. No date has been finalized yet. One U.S. official said strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer and national security adviser Tzachi Hanegbi would be among the delegation…
JERUSALEM (VINnews) — A terrorist opened fire at cars and at a schoolbus travelling on the main road traversing the Jordan Valley. Two people were lightly injured and one other was moderately to seriously injured. The attack occurred at 7 AM in the village of Ouja, a small village north of Jericho which the main road through the region passes through. Surveillance cameras show the terrorist standing on the road and opening fire at passing cars. The bus was hit by several bullets but there were no injuries reported among the schoolchildren.
The report cites numerous examples of faculty-driven anti-Zionism, including a UC Santa Cruz professor writing, ‘Zionism [sic] is not welcome on our campus.’ Anti-Zionist faculty within the University of California (UC) system are doing more than ever before to make Zionism anathema on their campuses, according to a new study published by AMCHA Initiative, an antisemitism watchdog group. The report—titled “Academic Agitators: The Role of Anti-Zionist Faculty Activism in Escalating Antisemitism at the University of California After October 7, 2023”—found that incidents of faculty engaging in anti-Zionist advocacy increased 1,100 percent between Oct. 7, 2023 and March 15, 2024. Professors,…
The premier Jewish history museum in the United States may come under the umbrella of the Smithsonian, providing a level of financial security and distinction to an institution that was facing bankruptcy four years ago. On Wednesday, a bipartisan slate of lawmakers introduced legislation to study whether the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, in Philadelphia, could become part of the Smithsonian Institution. The Weitzman, as it is known, already has an affiliation with the Smithsonian, but making it a full part of the trust would make the museum eligible for federal appropriations and give it a figurative place…
A father and son allegedly vandalized road signs and streets in three Maine towns, as well as a city, with antisemitic words and symbols, according to a complaint which the state’s attorney general filed on Tuesday. William Deary, 49, and Hayden Deary, 18, both of Harpswell, Maine, are accused of carrying out the anti-Jewish vandalism on or about Jan. 7 in the towns of Harpswell, Brunswick and Topsham, and the city of Bath. “These words and symbols, defacing public property, are clearly designed to make people in our community feel unwelcome and unsafe,” stated Aaron Frey, the state attorney general.…
Jewish New York was once defined by pushcarts and peddlers; immigrants arriving through Ellis Island; densely packed kosher restaurants; lively Yiddish theater and daily newspapers in Yiddish and Ladino. Those days are long gone—but that period is just some of the Jewish history captured in documents and ephemera collected and carefully cataloged by the Dorot Jewish Division at the New York Public Library. Their collection includes the very first edition, in 1897, of the Yiddish daily newspaper Der Forverts, matchbooks from Jewish businesses like Schapiro’s Kosher Wines, scripts of plays from the Yiddish writer Sholem Asch and photographs of the…
Double-checking the data with independent verification will be impossible due to the lack of independent sources in Gaza. Professor Abraham Wyner showed that the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry has been “faking” casualty numbers, in an article for Tablet Magazine on March 7. A professor of Statistics and Data Science at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Wyner provided a detailed analysis of the data from the Gaza Health Ministry, which showed that they had, at the very minimum, been doctored—and at worst, completely faked. Wyner first tackles the total reported deaths, which he shows climbed by 270 plus or minus about 15% every day. This,…
Latin American governors and mayors make solidarity trip to Israel to show support after the October 7th massacres. A delegation of mayors and governors from Latin America arrived in Israel this week for a special solidarity trip, five months after the October 7th invasion of Israel and beginning of the present war between Israel and Hamas. In the face of recent surge in antisemitism and hostility towards Israel in Latin America, the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) brought the first-ever delegation of governors and mayors from across the region to Israel for a four-day solidarity visit. Participants included Governor of Panama…
