Bela Hadid, an outspoken anti-Israel supermodel of Palestinian decent with 54 million followers on Instagram, complained about how her activism on behalf of Palestinians has hurt her career, and she’s lost many friends. Boohoo. Sorry, Bella, there is a way to support Palestine without spreading lies and denying the Jewish right to sovereignty.

Ben and Jerry’s anti-Israel stance got another slap in the face when US District Judge Andrew Carter denied B&J’s request for an injunction blocking any deal that would allow its products to be sold or distributed in the West Bank. More than that, they’re becoming an unwanted child of their parent company Unilever. So Israelis and Palestinians will enjoy B&J, and that’s just too bad. 🐄🍨

Finally, Telsa arrived in Israel over the last year, and Israelis have seized the opportunity. For a while, it was normal to shout “Tesla!” upon seeing one. That soon became passe as their appearance became an everyday occurrence. Tesla announced they’re sending an additional shipment of 4000 vehicles, mostly China-assembled model 3s. The idea is for them to arrive and sell before a purchase tax on electric vehicles kicks in this coming January. 10460 new electric vehicles were delivered in the first half of 2022, which is a 70% jump from the same period last year. For most Israelis, not needing to buy gas is a dream that many are turning into their reality.

As always, I hope to make you smile with some articles and nuggets from the past week.
