Bibi Netanyahu interviewed on NBC News in the USA.

“I’m going to safeguard Israeli democracy. I’m going to bring peace. I’m going to stop Iran. That’s what I’m coming back for”.

In this video, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Israel Prime Minister-Elect Benjamin Netanyahu discuss the history of Israel, its status as an embattled nation, the importance of the struggle for statehood, why and how the PM came back from political demise, and his vision for the future.

Ignore the adverts in the middle of the interview.

Watch it here on YouTube if you prefer.

These Israeli tourists got the surprise of their life in the USA.

This Israeli guy named Nadav Shtrauchler went to the football game for the World Cup tonight in Qatar wearing this shirt which says "Avera is still alive!"

Avera is the young Israeli Jewish man of Ethiopian descent who has mental problems and who crossed into Gaza on September 7, 2014 and is being held captive (dead or alive) by Hamas.

May he return home alive soon!

I have posted about him many times:

This is a great song by Shlomi Shabbat & Israeli Ethiopian singer Eden Alene with an incredible voice, who won the seventh season of the Israeli singing competition HaKochav Habaa (The Next Star).

This song is in solidarity with Avera Mengistu and his family. Avera is an Israeli Ethiopian man who crossed into Gaza on September 7, 2014. He was detained and interrogated by Hamas, and has been missing since then. His family has stated that he is mentally unstable and had been admitted to a mental hospital in the past. He had been treated with medication, which he stopped taking a few weeks prior to his crossing. His mother is shown in the video also. It is a very sad situation.

Eden was set to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021.

Alene studied in religious schools, after which she attended the Hebrew University High School. In 2018, she was enlisted to the IDF, and serves in a military band.
