Is Israel not letting Jews in?

Written by Nathan Schloss. No comments Posted in: Internet, Israel, Judaism, Religion

Israel recently decided to close up shop in Ethiopia and to stop facilitating the immigration of the Falashmura. Jews, who had been practicing Christianity. (look here for more info).

The rumors are true, I am now writing for another blog… http://www.onteenstoday.com/. “Teens Today” is a blog about teens and teen trends, the blog is aimed at parents who want to better understand teens.

I don’t think that it is any secret that CNN often manipulates stories about Israel to be pro Arab and anti Israel and Jewish.

The article is here and its neutral POV (point of view) equivalent on Fox [...]

While IE8 has some really neat features, I had a few problems with the beta. My main problem was how it rendered pages. Many pages that worked correctly on IE7 have extra spaces between lines and have messed up tables. Also my other problem was that when ever I tired to open a page from [...]
