NYU Fires Prestigious Cancer Doctor for Supporting Israel
A Jewish cancer biologist who headed New York University Langone’s Perlmutter Cancer Center sued his employer for wrongful termination after he was allegedly fired for social media posts related to the current Israel-Gaza War.
Dr. Benjamin Neel, the former director of the Perlmutter Cancer Center, filed the lawsuit Thursday in the New York State Supreme Court, claiming he was a “casualty” of the cancer center’s “ill-considered plan to feign the appearance of even-handedness,” Business Insider reported.
Israel Gove Totally Ignores Massive Danger: PA has built 18,899 illegal buildings in Area C on the Judea and Samaria border.
Regavim published a special warning criticizing the illegal construction by the Palestinian Authority (PA) on the borders of Judea and Samaria.
Tamar Sikorel, Regavim spokeswoman, discussed the threat that has been brewing for years along the Green Line. without any binding response from Israel: “Regavim maps the areas of Judea and Samaria, as well as the Negev. Now, following the Gaza war and the explosion of the conspiracy in the Gaza Strip, we have decided to undertake a special inspection operation of what is happening on the seam line. We have mapped the entire length of the fence from the north of the Jordan Valley to the south of the Dead Sea, a distance of about three hundred kilometers, up to one to four kilometers from the fence. This of course is Area C, an area that is completely controlled by Israel and is supposed to be sterile, guarding the security of the cities in the center, the coastal plain, and Ben Gurion airport.”
Sikorel continued: “The data we found is frightening and threatening, telling an explicit and clear story: The PA has built 18,899 illegal structures along this line that are sitting right on the fence - for example, in the IDF training area in the Samaria region, whose proximity to Rosh Ha’ayin is ridiculous, and overlooks Benny Gantz’s personal balcony.”
“This has been clear to us and to all residents of Judea and Samaria for many years. Now it will explode after October 7th. If the distance between Gaza and Ofakim is 25 kilometers, here it is barely 5 kilometers," she said, noting that this construction of almost twenty thousand buildings is in addition to the construction of about 100,000 buildings further into the area. She stressed that the focus in this mapping effort was made precisely around the Green Line, in order to understand the threat this construction poses to the settlements surrounding Judea and Samaria.
“The statement we are trying to hone now is that it is true that there is illegal construction that needs to be fought against, but there is illegal construction that also poses a real danger; a ticking bomb. It does not depend on whether we withdraw from there or not. This involves a moment's decision by the Palestinian Authority, as a leading terrorist organization, to turn its guns on the center of the country. Maybe it's time to wake up here as well and realize that abandoning this area could lead to disaster, as we saw in the Gaza Strip.”
How Israel’s new laser-defense system will turn the tables on Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran
Israel’s defenses took a giant leap forward this week when — for the first time ever — it used a laser beam to shoot down an incoming rocket fired by terrorists in Gaza.
This isn’t science fiction, but the product of years of research and experimentation.
The US military is doing its own laser-beam or “directed energy” research, and Israel and the United States cooperate.
Lockheed Martin and Israel’s Rafael are developing Iron Beam, and ultimately it can mean not only ground-based laser defenses but lasers to mount on ships and planes as well.
Israel fielded the weapon for the first time in combat a few days ago, and it could change the country’s air-defense posture in the next few years.
It’s called Iron Sting and is part of the larger Iron Beam laser-defense system.
