Unwarranted Criticism for Pro-Israel Sentiment

Actress Mayim Bialik, known for her recent role as co-host of the beloved American trivia show, Jeopardy!, is proudly Jewish and unashamedly Zionist. Like many Jews worldwide, she endorses Israel’s right to exist and flourish, and she has not hesitated... ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏  ͏ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ July 20, 2023 / ב׳ באב תשפ״ג [logo]( [DONATE]( IN THIS ISSUE ISRAEL SUPPORTER MAYIM BIALIK UNDER FIRE ISRAEL INVESTS IN THE FUTURE BY PRESERVING THE PAST SWEDISH ACTIVIST'S REVERSAL: A VICTORY FOR PEACE [Shadow] ISRAEL SUPPORTER MAYIM BIALIK UNDER FIRE [pic] Mayim Bialik, the Jewish co-host of the popular American trivia show, Jeopardy!, has been subjected to unwarranted criticism for her pro-Israel sentiments. Despite her balanced perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an article by MEAWW accused her of racism for her support of Israel. The article distorted Bialik's stance, equating Zionism with being anti-Palestinian, and failed to adhere to basic journalistic standards. Bialik is an advocate for both the Jewish people's right to self-determination and the rights of Palestinians to secure their own state. The State of Israel, which fosters a diverse society and seeks peace, stands tall in its affirmation of the rights of all its citizens and residents. Being pro-Israel does not inherently imply being anti-Palestinian, a perspective that Bialik has repeatedly supported. WEEKLY FACT Israel has the highest number of solar power water heaters per capita in the world. ISRAEL INVESTS IN THE FUTURE BY PRESERVING THE PAST Israel, in a bid to preserve its rich historical legacy, has announced a significant investment towards the protection and restoration of archaeological sites in Samaria and Judea. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the deep-rooted connection of the Israeli people to these lands, which are home to invaluable relics of the past. The initiative, which includes a 120 million shekel ($33 million) program for the restoration of key sites, aims not only to safeguard these historical treasures but also to stimulate tourism, education, and wider knowledge of these significant sites. The commitment reflects Israel's enduring connection to its history and heritage, ensuring that future generations can learn, appreciate, and be inspired by their shared history. VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT YONI LEVI | FEED ISRAEL VOLUNTEER | JERUSALEM "Being a Feed Israel volunteer allows me to turn my compassion into action and make a meaningful impact in my community. It's a privilege to be part of an organization that is dedicated to alleviating hunger and bringing hope to those in need." SWEDISH ACTIVIST'S REVERSAL: A VICTORY FOR PEACE [pic] In an unexpected turn of events, a Swedish Muslim activist, who initially planned to burn the Bible outside the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, decided against it. The man, in his 30s, intended to retaliate for the burning of the Koran by a Christian Iraqi immigrant. However, he renounced his plan on the day of the protest, stating that his faith, Islam, teaches him to respect books, not destroy them. The reasons behind his change of heart remain speculative, but his final message was a call for respect and tolerance between religious communities. This incident drew attention from Israeli officials who condemned the proposed act. Interestingly, a recent Swedish poll shows a majority favoring a ban on public burning of religious texts, reflecting a growing sentiment towards mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.   POVERTY HURTS [chan]( The struggling economy has left many Israelis in poverty, with countless families and individuals lacking basic necessities such as food and heating.
