Good morning, class. Here is your reading list.
Haaretz reports that the Israeli government tried to cover up the Waqf’s secret excavations on the Temple Mount.
Did Senator Lindsey Graham go against Abe Lincoln and the Bible in advocating the repeal of the 14th Amendment? asks Rabbi Andy Bachman.
An American university president and Clinton-era cabinet member with an Arab name visits Israel to support the latest anti-BDS hootenanny… and gets harassed at Ben Gurion Airport. Â The best part? This wacko utterance from airport security:
An IAA [Israel Airport Authority] spokesperson reported in response: “This incident is unknown to us. We performed a thorough check. There was no contact made with us or any other body. No unusual events were registered at Ben Gurion Airport, and we have no idea about this incident, which, from our perspective, never happened.” [Tikun Olam]
Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post agree: Exempting more of Israel’s “full-time Torah scholars” from army service is a bad move.
Jewish Ideas Daily turns its sights on immigration to Israel today: Arguing in one piece that Israel needs to be more selective about who it admits and more generous to its immigrants, and pointing us to another piece in the Jerusalem Post arguing that Israel needs more universally applicable and transparent immigration policies.
And the one you’ve all been waiting for:
Adolf Hitler Campbell, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell were removed from their home in western New Jersey, near the Pennsylvania border, a month after a highly publicized incident in which a supermarket refused to print Adolf Hitler Campbell’s full name on a birthday cake. [JTA]
Have a good day.
