COVID-19: List Of Hand Sanitizers To Avoid Now Nears 90, FDA Says

The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers and health care providers that the agency has seen a sharp increase in hand sanitizer products that are labeled to contain ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) but that have tested positive for methanol contamination amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The list has now grown to nearly 90 products being recalled.
Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, can be toxic when ingested or absorbed through the skin, according to FDA said.
The agency said it's aware of adults and children ingesting hand sanitizer products contaminated with methanol that has led to recent adverse events including blindness, hospitalizations and death.
The FDA advises consumers not to use hand sanitizers listed below, or products with the names or NDC numbers.

CHUTZPAH: European Diplomats Warn Israel Against Building in Jerusalem Neighborhood


What unmitigated gall .... what chutzpah...
They threw us out of their countries time and again ... then selected and rounded us up just recently ...
 and now that we finally have our country, these children of murderers are telling us not to build in our own sovereign country...may they all go to hell!

A group of European diplomats warned Israel against moving forward with construction projects in Jerusalem and between Jerusalem and Maale Adumim.

On Thursday, 16 diplomats representing the UK, Iceland, Norway and the European Union and 12 EU member states including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, and Sweden, took part in a Zoom meeting, discussing in part Israeli plans to build in the Givat HaMatos neighborhood of southern Jerusalem and in the E-1 area east of the capital, between Jerusalem and the Israeli city of Maale Adumim.

According to the French embassy in Israel, the 16 diplomats expressed their “grave concerns” about Israel’s construction plans in the two areas.

“Recalling prev. demarches France,Germany,Italy,Spain,UK +Belgium,Denmark,Finland, Ireland,Netherlands,Norway,Poland, Portugal,Slovenia,Sweden+the EU have repeated their grave concerns regarding the advancement of settlement construction in Givat Hamatos and potentially in E1 area,” the French embassy tweeted.

“Any further settlement construction in this strategically sensitive area will have a devastating impact on a contiguous Palestinian State, as well as severely undermining the possibility of a negotiated 2-state solution in line with internationally agreed parameters.”

“Settlements are illegal under International Humanitarian Law.”

Earlier this year, Israel approved tenders for 1,077 new housing units in the Givat HaMatos neighborhood.

There are additional plans for further construction in the neighborhood, along with plans for expansion of the nearby Har Homa neighborhood, and the E-1 corridor between Jerusalem and Maale Adumim.

The master plan for expansion in Givat HaMatos and Har Homa provides for the construction of 6,100 new housing units.

Three Russian Sisters Accused of Lying About ‘rapist’ Father They Killed As He Was Planning Aliyah

Three Russian teen sisters charged with killing their physically and sexually abusive father are accused by family members of concocting the tales of abuse.
The explosive allegations against the Khachaturyan sisters were launched by their dead father’s sister and nephew in advance of their trial, which is set to begin Friday in Moscow for two of the three sisters.
Naira Khachaturyan, the aunt of Maria, Angelina and Krestina Khachaturyan, also claimed on Andrey Malakhov’s ‘Let Them Talk’, that the sisters had conspired to kill their father, Mikhail, before he planned to emigrate to Israel when all his daughters were 18, according to the Daily Mail.
“They knew they could live the way they want if they got rid of their father,” Khachaturyan said on TV. “They wanted to delete him from their lives,” she said.
Arsen Khachaturyan, Mikhail’s nephew added: “Sexual violence, other violence, there was nothing of that. The girls decided to kill their father, they conspired a while ago.”
The siblings were 17, 18, and 19 when they fatally attacked their dad with a hammer and kitchen knife as he nodded off inside their Moscow apartment in July 2018.

Twitter Says its OK To flag President Trump's Tweets But its Not OK to Flag Iran's calls for violence against Israel,

Twitter defended its decision to flag President Trump’s tweet about violent demonstrations but not Iran’s calls for violence against Israel, suggesting to Israeli’s legislature on Wednesday that the latter fell under its protections for “commentary on political issues of the day.”
Human rights attorney Arsen Ostrovsky asked Twitter’s Ylwa Pettersson: 
“You have recently started flagging the tweets of President Trump. Why have you not flagged the tweets of Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, who has literally called for the genocide of Israel and the Jewish people?”
Pettersson responded: 
“We have an approach to world leaders that presently say that direct interactions with fellow public figures, comments on political issues of the day, or foreign policy sabre-rattling on military, economic issues are generally not in violation –”
At that point, Knesset member Michal Cotler-Wunsh interjected and challenged Pettersson.
“So, calling for genocide is okay, but commenting on politics is not?” she asked.

Tisha B'Av at Titus' Gate .... Ambassador Reads from an Eyewitness of the Destruction of the Bais Hamikdash



As Ambassador of the State of Israel, Tisha B'Av this year is different from previous years. This time I'm in Rome, at Titus' Gate, built in honor of that victory over Jerusalem, in the year '70.

Across from us stands the Colosseum, constructed from the spoils of that war; and on the other side - the Curia, the Roman Senate building. Incredible symbolism.

The triumphal procession made its way through the main streets. Then it came here, to the Via Sacra - the holy path - to the Temple of Jupiter, where sacrifice was performed and public celebrations took place.

Yosef ben Matityahu, the commander of the Galilee during the Great Revolt, who was captured and joined Titus, documented the war in his book "History of the Jewish War against the Romans." He was an eyewitness to the parade.

I will read an excerpt from the book:
