APN's daily news review from Israel
Thursday May 31, 2018
Quote of today:
“How is the JNF, whose regulations prohibit the sale or lease of land to Arabs, any different from the
rabbis of Safed who issue halakhic rulings that forbid renting apartments to Arab students?”
--MK Jamal Zahalka asked the Knesset plenum when proposing a bill to withdraw legal status from the Jewish National Fund (JNF), Keren Hayesod (United Israel Appeal), the Jewish Agency and the World Zionist Organization.*
You Must Be Kidding:
A Palestinian teen suffering from a rare genetic disease was held in a prison cell for a month and a half on suspicion of throwing stones, despite his family's pleas to release him for medical reasons, and only unconditionally released when he lost consciousness and was put on a respirator.**

Every morning, like many of you, I open my e-mail and groan: so much spam, so many
unwanted messages and advertisements. It makes you want to kick the computer. But there's one item I
never skip. In fact, I welcome it every day in my Inbox -- and that's 
Orly Halpern, a brilliant journalist in Jerusalem, excerpts the
news from an array of Israeli newspapers from left to right and gives it to us in a concise readable
format. I don't read every article, but those of special interest to me are right there in my inbox every
morning.
