The Yediot Achronot conference attacking BDS has become a veritable carnival of hate.  Everyone from delusional Hollywood celebrities (Roseanne Barr) to cabinet ministers, to the leader of the Opposition have pledged fealty to the cause.

But the apogee same yesterday when Transportation Minister Israel Katz [image left] called for the “civil targeted killing“of BDS leaders like Omar Barghouti.  The phrase he used (sikul ezrahi memukad) derives from the euphemistic Hebrew phrase for the targeted killing of a terrorist (the literal meaning is “targeted thwarting”).  But the added word ” civil” makes it something different.  Katz is saying that we won’t physically murder BDS opponents, but we will do everything short of that.   Continue reading “Israel Minister Calls for “Civil Targeted Killings” of BDS Leaders”

WEB Notes: This is what we have been talking about. Incrementally they are blaming Iran various issues. We have seen this kick up since the start of the year. They are bringing Iran into the negative spotlight once again. Bloomberg reported the judge mentioned in this article placed a $10.5 billion dollar judgement against Iran citing them as a cause for the 9/11 attacks. Read this line from Bloomberg: “Daniels found that Iran had failed to defend claims that it aided the Sept. 11 hijackers and was therefore liable for damages tied to the attacks.”

Chemo as a treatment for cancer has always been controversial, with patients as well as medical professionals doubting its efficacy and safety as a cancer treatment. Bottom line: It seems to have more harmful side effects than healing effects.

The study, published in JAMA Oncology, also showed that cancer patients with limited or moderate functioning ability feel worse when undergoing chemotherapy.   Continue reading “Researchers admit: Chemo worsens quality of life with no benefit of overall survival in advanced stage cancer”
