1. Most Israeli Jews Positive about Judea and Samaria
SHAMRAK Report: Steven Shamrak
Surprising data on the public s perception of Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria has emerged. The survey revealed that 70% of the Jewish public feel a historical connection to Judea and Samaria, 63% an emotional connection and 48% a religious connection. In contrast, only 37% of Israeli Arabs feel a historical connection to Judea and Shamaria, while 33% and 32%, respectively, feel a historical and religious affinity to it. (Why is it surprising? Judea and Samaria are part of Eretz-Israel, Jewish land, regardless of what the international anti-Semites encourage Arabs to think.)

2. Hasidic and Orthodox Jews in NY face physical attackes attack by African Americans and Others.
Hasidic and Orthodox Jews in New York City are the minority group most victimized by hate crimes in the city, according to a Dec. 28 report by Americans Against Antisemitism (AAA), a US based group founded in 2019 to raise awareness of rising antisemitism.

The report, titled 'The Hate Crime Accountability Project' and based on data provided by the New York City Police Department (NYPD), said that Orthodox Jews were victims in 94 percent of the 194 antisemitic assaults that occurred between 2018 and 2022. 97 percent were committed by members of other minority groups, it added, and nearly a quarter by teenagers.
Over two-thirds, 69 percent, of the assailants were African American, the report continued, with most attacks, 77 percent, taking place in predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Of all assaults that prompted criminal proceedings, just two resulted in convictions.

Israel's Channel 13 News team on Monday night exposed a shocking document by the European Union revealing a plan to meddle in Israel's sovereign affairs by secretly helping the Palestinian Authority seize land in Area C.
The six-page document was written at the European Union's mission in eastern Jerusalem and describes how the EU plans to further expand the Palestinian Authority presence in Area C, which is territory that is under full Israeli legal and security control in accordance with the internationally-recognized Oslo Accords.
