Very Good News Israel
By Michael Ordman
As we leave behind the celebrations of Israel’s independence, it is important not only to look back at what Israel has achieved in the past, but also at what Israel is doing right now! Both indicators show that the Jewish State is leading mankind into a future that is vastly different both medically and technically from our current environment.
The world we are beginning to see is one where humans no longer suffer from dementia. The research by Professor Michal Schwartz and her team at the Weizmann Institute highlights the changes in the brains of the elderly that prevent immune cells traveling to repair brain trauma. It opens up the possibility of new treatments to prevent brain degeneration. Similarly, Parkinson’s will be cured – maybe using the sugar substitute mannitol that researchers from Tel Aviv University found to protect the brain against the disease. (Read more…)
American Jewish Leaders: Stop the Rot Now
 |
Visiting New York this week, I sought to assess the broader implications of the recent “International Peace Award” bestowed on former president Jimmy Carter by Yeshiva University’s Cardozo Law School.

Almost lost in the terrible events in Boston is the Obama administration’s dire warning last week that the window for diplomatic success in the Middle East is closing — not on Iran’s quest for nuclear capability; not on the Syrian war; not on sectarian violence in Iraq; not on the spread of al-Qaeda in North Africa; not on the devolution of the Pakistani government or rising discontent in Jordan or the rapid downward spiral of Egyptian finances and civil liberties.
