Us Jews Israel

US President Joe Biden on Friday (local time) condemned the recent attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam Friday, calling the incident "despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted."

Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump drew outrage from the White House, Democrats and leaders of Jewish groups for saying Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats hate their religion and Israel.

The Israel-Hamas war has heightened the threat of attacks in the United States, raising particular concerns for the Jewish and Muslim communities, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Tuesday.

When Joe Biden met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet during his visit to Israel, the US president assured them, "I don't believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist."

Hamas is a terrorist group and its only agenda is to destroy Israel and murder Jews, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. The group is not a representative of the Palestinian people or their legitimate aspirations for the future, he added.

An hour after Rabbi Jonathan Leener put out a call for donations among his small Brooklyn synagogue community, he had raised $5,000. Soon he had taken in enough supplies to fill an SUV.

Thousands of people gathered on Tuesday for a show of solidarity with Israel in New York, the city with the largest number of Jews in the world outside of the Jewish state.

Any change in the status quo of Jerusalem's holy sites is "unacceptable," the White House said Tuesday, after a visit by a far-right Israeli minister to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, holy to both Jews and Muslims.

When India voted in the UN against the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, it could have cited Kolkata as an example to follow. In this city, synagogues where Jews worship are maintained by Muslim caretakers - the same two communities bitterly divided over Jerusalem and more.

Jerusalem municipality on Wednesday revived plans to build 500 new homes for Jewish settlers in the Israeli-annexed east, an NGO said, a first since the US presidential election.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on North American Jews to unite behind Israel on Tuesday after a year of deep differences within the community over his vehement opposition to the U.S.-backed nuclear deal with Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to rally US Jews on Tuesday against the Iranian nuclear deal championed by President Barack Obama and facing review by Congress, saying it risked a catastrophic Middle East war.

The US President's Middle East tour aimed at reaching out to the Muslim world is attracting the ire of right-wing Israeli groups.
