Today, it’s Midsummer Eve in Sweden, which is one of the really big holidays. Maypoles are dressed up and people dance around them. So with many hours until Shabbat begins, here’s my weekly שבת שלום. Have a nice holiday, no matter what you’re celebrating.

I admire Ukraine and their heroism. Read it at Kyiv Independent.

Well, according to some, negotiation is haram. Read it at Iran International.

Did anyone truly believe the regime in Tehran had ever intended to bring peace? Read it at Times of Israel.

The Hind Rajab Foundation is harassing Israelis and promote itself as some kind of human-rights organisation, but its director, Dyab Abou Jahjah, is affiliated with Hezbollah. Killing children is only a problem if the child is an Arab. Firing thousands of rockets against children’s playgrounds in Israel is fair game. Read it at Jerusalem Post.

Dyab Abou Jahjah has openly expressed support for anti-Semitic terroism.

No surprise. This is the world we live in. Thanks to “anti-Zionists”. Read it at Times of Israel.

“It is your heritage, without a doubt,” Ambassador Mike Huckabee said during the International Conference on Israeli Heritage in Judea and Samaria, “but it is also the heritage of the United States. Without Israel, without the Jewish foundation, there would not be America.”

Read it at Jerusalem Post.

“Many Iranians who stood against the regime are left feeling frustrated and angry as details emerge of the peace deal between Washington and Tehran—worrying that the Islamist hardliners are now more powerful and entrenched than ever,” Ronny Reyes writes at the New York Post.

An article by me was published in the Times of Israel today. It’s about the Swedish Left Party’s many anti-Semitic terror sympathisers.

I get the concern. Social media is a cesspool, but a ban is just wrong. Government shouldn’t act parent. Read it at the Guardian.

Sarah Hooper seems to think so, and so do I. Read it at Metro.
