Americans for their work in explaining how ribosomes act on the atomic level. Yeah, I dont get it either, but Mazal Tov to her and to Israel.
That makes 9 Nobel prizes for Israel in 61 years. Not too shabby. Just for verities sake, there are 10 Nobel Peace prizes for the entire Muslim world, and one of the Nobel laureates is Yasser Arafat. Keep plugging away boys..
Salah, the head of the Islamic Movement’s Northern Branch was arrested in Wadi Joz for incitement and sedition. This guy has 7 impending police investigations against him and the best the courts can do is send him home and tell him not to go to Jerusalem for 30 days.
Why the Israeli court system thinks this is a smart idea I’ll never know. But, sadly, this goes along with the current ‘kid gloves’ approach the Israeli government takes with any Arab of any note who has a beef with Israel. You can read more crap like this from Ahmed Tibi, an MK who for some reason, Israel chooses to allow to stay in the Knesset when he should be turned out of the country or at least in jail. The sad part is, he is representing the point of view of his constituency. He must be, as he keeps getting re-elected. Oh well, at least we know what the people who keep putting him in office are thinking.
Now you even have Fatah members saying, “Yup, if Israel doesn’t back off, there will be a third Intifada’. Great….the whole chorus is singing. Why no one internationally is trying to help Israel get the Arabs to back off is beyond me, but as mentioned previously, if they want to start another Intifada, Israel should defend itself and it’s citizens accordingly with all due force.
I don’t know if this means he will be home any sooner, but at least we know he is alive, appears sane and is not incapacitated in any way
20 skanks for a video. I guess it was worth it for proof of life. The only question now is, how many murderers is it going to take to free him for real? And should he ever be brought home, how will Israel change it’s policy to prevent thousands from being released for one soldier again?
Just because we are used to great scientific advancements emanating daily from Israel doesnt mean we should cease being amazed at all the useful technology
Check out the below video of an amazing medical advancement from Argo Medical Technologies based in Haifa. They developed an exo-skeleton that attaches to the legs of a parapalegic and give him the ability to walk around and go about his day as would anyone. The patient in the video had been confined to a wheelchair for 20 years before this invention. Now he can even walk up and down stairs!! Amazing.
So, it had come down to this. Tomorrow, Israel will send back the murderer, Samir Kuntar, 4 Hezbollah fighters captured in the 2006 Lebanon War along with the bodies of almost 200 Hezbollah fighters, the release of an as yet undetermined number of Palestinian prisoners and a report on Iranian diplomats kidnapped in the 1980’s.
What is Israel getting in return? Well, if you believe the reports from the Lebanese media, Read more »
In the wake of the lone madman (so say the police) who took a bulldozer on a joyride and took 3 lives and injured dozens more, and also in contrast to it, things are going wrong for Israel on a non-lone madman level. The more orchestrated campaign against Israel took 2 turns for the worse today and as usual, no one has any good solutions for it.
Although we aren’t privy to the agreement signed by Olmert and Nasrallah, we can be pretty sure that the swap is on course. Today, the IDF Rabbinate confirmed they have begun exhuming the bodies of fallen Hezbollah fighters from a cemetery near Kibbutz Amiad. The deal is expected to go through very quickly with the culmination in about another week and 1/2.Read more »
I’m sure by this point, everyone has heard just about everything there is to hear in regards to the attack on Yaffa Street yesterday. 3 people (I had said 4, sorry) were laid to rest yesterday and today and scores more are still injured, physically and emotionally. We’ve heard cries for knocking down the terrorist’s house from Olmert and others and hand-wringing from the family members. A few things stuck out in my mind:
In a horrific terror attack today, an Arab resident of Israel commandeered a bulldozer that was being used in the construction of the Jerusalem Light Rail and went on a rampage at the corner of Yaffa Street and Sha’arei Yisreal Street. The bulldozer was taken from the construction site and plowed into 2 buses (Routes 13 and 60) and a multitude of cars before a soldier and elite police on the scene were able to put a bullet where it belonged (WATCH) and stop the terrorist in his tracks. (In a twist of fate, the soldier is the brother-in-law of IDF officer David Shapira, who killed the terrorist in the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva attack)Read more »
