On Monday night, an Israeli vehicle on the road near Ariel was shot at by an Arab sniper.

Luckily, there was only damage to the car and not to the driver or passengers.

Terror attacks continue to happen every day in Israel. But you generally only see reports of attacks that kill people.

According to Shin Bet, in February there were 97 attacks in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem: 80 firebombs; 11 pipe bombs; one stabbing; two grenade attacks; and one gas tank IED attack.

And this was much better than January!

Arabs shooting at Jews is not newsworthy ~ Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News
 
There are now 17 countries with over 25,000 Jews. That is half of the total that existed when Israel was founded in 1948.

Israel 6.6 million Jews
USA 5.7 million
France 453,000
Canada 391,000
UK 290,000
Argentina 180,000
Russia 172,000
Germany 116,000
Australia 113,000
Brazil 93,000
South Africa 69,000
Ukraine 50,000
Hungary 47,000
Mexico 40,000
Netherlands 30,000
Belgium 29,000
Italy 28,000

The next countries that will likely fall below the 25,000 level will be Belgium and then Italy. Belgium has seen a rise in antisemitism including the shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in 2014, and the mocking of Jews as moneylenders at a Carnival paradein March 2019, as well as from a decline in the diamond industry which employed many Jews in Antwerp. Italy has seen a migration of its Jews due to the influx of Muslims who have brought new levels of antisemitism at two to five times the level of Christians, as demonstrated in ADL polls. New laws banning ritual slaughter and possibly prohibiting circumcision in European countries will also weigh on where Jews decide to live. The aging population is also encouraging young Jews to migrate to find spouses elsewhere.

The net effect is that over the course of the last 100 years, Jews went from mostly speaking Russian, German and Arabic to speaking English and Hebrew.

It is unlikely that there will be any new countries joining the 25k list as most migration is going to the more established countries.

It’s difficult for the foreign press to reach Xinjiang for a first-hand look. This rugged region of mountains and deserts in northwestern China is located between Mongolia and Kazakhstan, and the Chinese are heavy-handed with critical reporters. But as luck would have it, The Guardian — of all papers — managed to get an exclusive dispatch.

Xinjiang is an open-air prison.

A prison is designed to keep people in.

The blockade is designed to keep weapons out. Israel doesn’t apologize for keeping its citizens safe, or for monitoring the flow of food, medicines, construction material and other humanitarian aid into Gaza. Israel has intercepted bullets, combat gear, drones and other contraband being smuggled into the Strip.

Memo to The Guardian: If you want to have a conversation about Gaza, tell it like it is without inflammatory headlines. And don’t try to cover your hyperbole by putting the most provocative words in quote marks. That doesn’t fly.

The Guardian’s headline is a case study for the consequences of headline writers losing all sense of proportion:

Today, there is another major conference by INSS marking the anniversary, with many well-known speakers as well.

In this case, there are two Egyptians speaking: One is the head of the Egyptian-American Business Association and the other is an Egyptian doctoral student who studies in Tel Aviv.
No Egyptian government officials are attending.
On the Egyptian side, I cannot find any official or unofficial commemoration of the event. To Egyptians, 40 years of peace is not something to celebrate.
In fact, the Cairo24 news site is covering today's INSS conference - and the article is meant to shame the two Egyptian citizens who are speaking.

Why do only Israelis care to mark 40th anniversary of Egypt-Israel peace treaty? ~ Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News
 
When someone claims that Israel does not want peace, you must tell them the excruciating story of Gush Katif. Make it clear that the path to peace is a two-way street, and, at the end of the road, lies a world in which life is better for both peoples. Let us come together as a society, as one human nation, and create harmony in a land where individuals from all walks of life are welcome.
