Arabs Want to Vote in the Jerusalem Elections, but Many Are Afraid to Do So
Hamas and the PLO use propaganda and terror to prevent participation.

Two of the 80 Jews aboard the doomed vessel.
When the Titanic set sail from the English port of Southampton to New York City, it had on board hundreds of prospective immigrants hoping to settle in the U.S. permanently; among them were Sinai and Miriam Kantor, originally from Vitebsk. The Kantors were just two of some 80 Jews aboard the ship, including Congressman Isidor Straus of New York who, together with his brother Nathan, had founded Macy’s department store; the Titanic even had its own kosher kitchen. While the Kantors were not nearly so wealthy as Straus, they were far better-off than most Jewish passengers on the vessel, as Sinai Kantor’s Hebrew watch—recently put up for auction—suggests.

Hizballah rockets, drones, and Shiite militias.
Meet the new anti-Semitism, same as the old anti-Semitism.
Not about love but about consecration.
