Leftist professor: 'Israel needs to close off haredi cities to prevent spread of COVID-19'
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/276465
In a Facebook post, Goldblum, who has a PhD in organic chemistry,
wrote: "They're hiding the truth from you, because of the elections: The
virus is spreading quickly in Israel since the Koreans visited the Cave
of the patriarchs. In Italy they have closed off towns and cities to
prevent the spread of the disease. Israel needs to close off Elad, Bnei
Brak, and Modi'in Illit and Beitar Illit, and Netivot and Beit Shemesh,
as well as large neighborhoods in Ashdod and Jerusalem."
All of the locations Goldblum named are home to large haredi communities.

What’s Next for Psychology’s Embattled Field of Social Priming
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/whats-next-for-psychologys-embattled-field-of-social-priming/
This is not the only area of research to be dented by science’s ‘replication crisis’. Failed replication attempts have cast doubt on findings in areas from cancer biology to economics.
But so many findings in social priming have been disputed that some say
the field is close to being entirely discredited. “I don’t know a
replicable finding. It’s not that there isn’t one, but I can’t name it,”
says Brian Nosek, a psychologist at the University of Virginia in
Charlottesville, who has led big replication studies. “I’ve gone from
full believer to full sceptic,” adds Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist at
the University of Toronto, Canada, and an associate editor at the
journal Psychological Science.

In July 2017, Israeli historian Yoram Meital stumbled upon a
handwritten 1028 CE biblical codex that was lying abandoned on a dusty
shelf in a Cairo synagogue. Wrapped in simple white paper of the sort
one finds on tables in cheap eateries, at 616 pages, the Zechariah Ben
‘Anan Manuscript is one of the era’s most complete and preserved
examples of the “Writings,” the third and concluding section of the
Hebrew Bible. It had been lost to scholars for almost 40 years.

Netanyahu: Benny Gantz's closest advisers compared President Trump to Hitler
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/276343
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke with Fox News' Mark Levin about the "deal of the century" and how it might be implemented following the March election.
In the interview, Netanyahu explained that the rival center-left
"Blue and White" party, led by MK Benny Gantz, is "a leftist party in
disguise."
"Remember, the majority of Israelis are basically right and
center-right. So in order to get center-right voters, they pretend to be
a center-right party and that they will take up the terrific Trump plan
that has been put forward by [US] President [Donald] Trump that's very
good for Israel, that has Israel applying Israeli law, adding to
Israel's sovereign territory important places like the Jordan Valley."
Rush Limbaugh Says Same Democrats Who Tricked George W. Bush Into Iraq War and WMDs Are Now Pushing Trump-Russia Evidence
https://www.newsweek.com/rush-limbaugh-says-same-democrats-who-tricked-george-w-bush-iraq-war-wmds-are-now-pushing-1488580
Limbaugh said the same intelligence agencies who "set up" Bush to
sell Congress on the Iraq War are now "deploying every weapon" against
the Trump administration. His Friday radio broadcast rehashed his own
conspiratorial version of the lead-up to America's 2003 invasion of
Iraq. He claimed "deep state" intelligence agencies and the Democratic
Party faked evidence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in order to
embarrass Bush's Republican administration. Limbaugh accused Democrats,
the FBI and CIA of colluding against Trump in a similar way today by
"making up evidence" of Russian ties.
