Former US Pres. Donald Trump: American Jews don't love Israel enough
"I did the Heights, I did Jerusalem, and I did Iran. I believe we got just 25% of the Jewish vote. It just doesn't make sense."
Jews with homosexual tendencies are eligible for aliyah la'Torah

In his reply to Zamir, Rabbi Eliyahu wrote: “I heard your question, and the answer is clear and self-explanatory. It is forbidden to discriminate against any Jew in the matter of aliyot la’Torah due to his sexual orientation. (Of course we are not talking about people who actually engage in behaviors that the Torah forbids.) Anyone who is struggling with such an inclination and is trying to live a holy life is of course eligible to receive an aliyah without any reservation.”

Why balloons strapped to explosives are the latest flashpoint in Israel-Hamas tensions
https://edition.cnn.com/2021/06/16/middleeast/israel-gaza-incendiary-balloons-cmd-intl/index.html
The Israeli military launched airstrikes against Hamas targets in Gaza overnight after militants floated dozens of so-called "incendiary balloons" over the border fence into Israel.
Officials
said at least 20 fires were started Tuesday by the balloons.
Palestinian media reported the retaliatory Israeli strikes caused
material damages, with no casualties reported.
More balloons were launched Wednesday, starting at least four more fires, Israeli fire and rescue authorities said.
While
militants have been sending balloons into Israel for years, the Israeli
military's response of airstrikes in Gaza is a new escalation. Israeli
officials said it was part of a message to Hamas that any provocation
will be met with force.
Smotrich: Bennett is the Left's useful idiot

“I split with Bennett when he himself signaled that his goal was replacing Netanyahu, making him a friend of the Left.”
“I am a big critic of Netanyahu, but the hatred against Netanyahu is pathological. There is nothing holding this new government together besides this. Bennett is serving as a useful idiot. I can’t complain about the Left, people can think differently from me, everyone is doing what they think will help Israel.”

Take the DOJ’s defense of religious exemptions to anti-LGBTQ discrimination laws. Title IX, the law banning discrimination on the basis of sex in education, includes an exemption for religious beliefs. The job of the DOJ is to defend the law as it stands. And as journalist Mark Joseph Stern recently argued in Slate, in defending Title IX as it is written, the DOJ may be trying “to prevent a Christian organization from taking over the defense and mounting extreme arguments that could lead to a devastating subversion of civil rights law.” In a possible acknowledgment to the backlash from LGBTQ advocates, the DOJ amended it’s June 8 filing a day later, removing the word “vigorously” and making it clear the Department of Education’s review of the policy was ongoing.

hostilities, in the face of continued terrorist acts from the Gaza
Strip," said the IDF Spokesperson's Unit in a statement.
Hamas responded to the strikes on Tuesday night, calling the strikes "a failed attempt to stop our people’s solidarity and resistance with the Holy City, and to cover up the unprecedented state of confusion for the Zionist establishment in organizing the so-called 'Flag March.'"

Health minister to remove blood donation restrictions from gay men
While gay men usually see higher rates of infection from HIV and
AIDS due to HIV’s higher transmission rates through anal sex – a

1980s – their rates have been dropping consistently over recent years.
This
drop in cases is coupled with a drop in the disease’s severity. Due to
improving medications, HIV was redefined in 2015 from being considered a
fatal illness to being considered a treatable, chronic disease.
