| Muslim Groups Raise Thousands for Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Victims | | Matthew Haag - New York Times - “Putting our religious differences or even your political differences aside, the core of all of us is that we have a shared humanity,” Mr. El-Messidi said in an interview. “We really wanted to reach out as human beings to help.” (...) One person who jumped at the chance to help was Shay Khatiri, an Iranian-American who immigrated to the United States four years ago. Mr. Khatiri, who lives in Washington, created a GoFundMe campaign for the synagogue on Saturday.
Over the weekend, donors contributed more than $100,000. Then $200,000. And by Tuesday evening, the campaign had raised nearly $900,000. The latest goal is to bring in $1 million.
Among the donors, “there are Steins and Bergs, and there are Mohammeds. There are generic American names, and there are Asian ones,” Mr. Khatiri wrote on GoFundMe. “It is only fitting that Americans of all backgrounds — immigrant, native-born, Jewish, atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, etc. — are uniting against this hateful act. America is beautiful!”

| Thousands signed a letter saying Trump was not welcome in Pittsburgh. He plans to visit anyway. | | Allyson Chiu and Amy B Wang - The Washington Post - More than
35,000 people have signed an open letter to President Trump from the
leaders of a Pittsburgh-based Jewish group who say the president
will not be welcome in the city unless he denounces white
nationalism and stops “targeting” minorities. Nevertheless, the
White House announced Trump would travel to Pittsburgh, ignoring the
letter as well as a plea from Pittsburgh’s mayor that the president
at least refrain from visiting “while we are burying the dead.” The
open letter, which was published and shared on Sunday, was written
by 11 members of the Pittsburgh affiliate of Bend the Arc, a ational
organization for progressive Jews focused on social justice. “For
the past three years your words and your policies have emboldened a
growing white nationalist movement,” the Jewish leaders wrote. “You
yourself called the murderer evil, but yesterday’s violence is the
direct culmination of your influence. Our Jewish community is not
the only group you have targeted. You have also deliberately
undermined the safety of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and
people with disabilities. Yesterday’s massacre is not the first act
of terror you incited against a minority group in our country.” [ak]

| Revealed: The Jerusalem Jews Behind the Israeli Conduit Funneling Money to Canary Mission | |
Uri Blau -
Haaretz -
"Haaretz found that Jonathan Bash, who heads Megamot Shalom, is also
the owner of Royal Research, a company which provides "research,
data collection and website preparation services." The company was
founded in September 2015, a few months after Canary Mission started
to operate online. In an expose published by the Forward, two
sources who spoke with the paper said that Bash, a resident of the
Old City of Jerusalem`s Jewish Quarter, told them he was the person
behind Canary Mission. Ben Packer, an American-born rabbi who runs
the Jerusalem Heritage House and is known to be an outspoken
supporter of the far-right extremist rabbi Meir Kahane, is a
shareholder in Megamot Shalom alongside Bash." ca

| Jordan says peace treaty won’t be affected by decision to nix land leases | | TOI staff and AP -

with Israel would not affect the decades-old peace agreement between
the countries, seeking to calm fears in Jerusalem that ties could be
downgraded...Officials in Jerusalem had expressed fears that the

with Israel, and many saw it as a reflection of intense domestic
pressure from a public that still largely views Israel as an enemy."

Israel uses the term “Israeli Arabs” to define us, a term I avoid because it disregards our heritage and attempts to disconnect us from the Palestinian struggle.
