Gifted Print by AndIDrew Torah Comics
Noticing I didn’t have enough America-Israel decor in my college dorm (lie), my visiting friend gifted me something he drew. Thanks for adding to the collection Andrew!

Trump Edited to Give the Same Presentation
To our teacher’s horror, a friend presented a plan for the Middle East to our High School freshman-year class. It was titled “Go Somewhere Else.” He decided the only solution would be sending the Palestinians to other Muslim-majority countries. Years later he reflected that it was silly.
I guess the presentation was just ahead of its time because President Trump came to the same conclusion. [1][2]
Monday 1.27
Trump closed the floodgates of U.S. foreign aid. But he allowed a leak to continue providing to Israel and Egypt. One can argue this is appropriate for the country that created drip irrigation. [3]
Tuesday 1.28
I’m big on opposition research. One of the prevalent talking points in the Jewish anti-Israel circles nowadays is that we don’t need Israel because Jews can safely live outside of Israel.
New polling shows that 50% of British Jews disagree and are considering leaving their country due to antisemitism. Better luck next time Bundists (this idea’s biggest proponent). [4]
Wednesday 1.29
I was going to write something about Trump’s executive order leading a coordinated entire government response to antisemitism. But I think that its original text alone can do it justice:
It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools, to prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence. [5]

Three Israeli and five Thai hostages have been released. 110 Palestinian prisoners were returned in exchange for the Israelis, and the Thais were part of a separate deal.
Again, Hamas organized a cruel procession for the hostages, which Israel admonished. [6][7]
Friday 1.31
Columbia Student, Mohsen Mahdawi
Mohsen Mahdawi is an F-1 student visa holder attending Columbia University. He reportedly wrote “F** the Jews… F*** the Jews!” on social media. Now his visa has been revoked and deportation is pending. And the campus raids begin… [8]
Saturday 2.1
Keith Siegel, Yarden Bibas, Ofer Calderon
After 484 days of psychological abuse, three hostages have been released in exchange for 183 Palestinian prisoners. Three families reunited and 79 remain divided.
