English translation: Some Irish people want to deport Muslim and African immigrants from Ireland. But since they're always talking about the two state solution, I have a suggestion: One state for the Irish, and one state for the immigrants. Isn't that right? 😏

English translation: In the Middle East, there are people who fear a book more than they fear a tank. Maybe that's why the Jews have long been known in Hebrew as "Am HaSefer" - "The People of the Book." In Israel, Hebrew Book Month is not a marginal event. People buy books, attend meetings with authors, and encourage their children to read. Because knowledge raises questions. And questions are not comfortable for everyone. Every authority prefers citizens who simply repeat what they're told. But citizens who read, think, and question — that's a different story. In the end, every society harvests what it chooses to sow. So if a society invests in reading, knowledge, and critical thinking, what will its future look like one generation from now?

English Translation: Imagine a campaign that claimed to "support Palestinians"... and ended up causing hundreds of families in the West Bank to lose their source of income. This is not a fictional story. This is the story of SodaStream, the Israeli company that manufactures home sparkling beverage machines. For years, hundreds of workers from the West Bank were employed there, earning salaries and receiving working conditions that were better than what they could find in many other places. Then came the BDS boycott campaign and pressure against the company. The factory moved. The company continued operating. Israel continued. But hundreds of Palestinian workers and their families were the ones who paid the price. And here is the question worth thinking about: If the goal was to help Palestinians, and the first people harmed were workers from the West Bank... Who exactly benefited from this whole story? 🤔 Credit picture: timesofisrael
