ISRAELI AMERICANS REPRESENT a GROWING ‘NEW POWER
in the Jewish Diaspora
A population of first- and second-generations is soaring to more than
10 percent of the overall Jewish population in the United States and
sees themselves as a bridge that can help close the widening gap
between Israeli and American Jewry.
THE SEA of GALILEE: A Sea of Miracles Disappearing
PALESTINIANS TO DROP MUSLIM-ONLY LANGUAGE FOR
TEMPLE MOUNT
In an unusual move, the European Union has publicly warned the
Palestinians that they must drop their United Nations bid to reference
the Temple Mount solely by its Muslim name of al-Haram al-Sharif.
"THE WORST DEAL in HISTORY”: Theresa May's Surrender
"This Brexit "deal" is anything but good for the nation. It will cost the
British taxpayer £60 billion; require that the British still comply with
EU rules without having any say in what those will be, and worst of all,
it permits the British to leave the EU only if the EU agrees.
TUNNELS ARE ONLY A PRECUSOR to the REAL THREAT
Analysis: Hezbollah will take time deciding how to respond to the tunnel
discovery; the fact the tunnels cross into Israel will allow diplomatic—and
perhaps military—action against the greater danger: precision missiles in
the hands of Hezbollah.
GEORGE H.W. BUSH and national day of mourning: What's open and
what's closed
* The U.S. Postal Service will not deliver regular mail. All post office
locations will be closed. Limited package delivery will continue to avoid
setbacks during the busy holiday season.
* The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will be closed.
* All federal offices will be closed. Federal employees will be excused
from work, except for reasons of national security or essential public
businesses.
* Some banks and courts will be closed. Federal Reserve Bank payment
systes will work as normal. Closures will vary by area.
DEMOCRATS SAY WEALTHIER AMERICANS deserve a state and
local tax break
As they prepare to take control of the House, one high priority for
Democrats from northeastern states is to look at rolling back the
$10,000 limit on state and local tax deductions included in the
Republicans’ 2017 overhaul of the federal tax system. But analysts
say repealing the state and local tax limit is worth just dollars to the
average middle-class taxpayer. For the wealthy, though, the proposal
could lower tax bills by tens of thousands of dollars.
