(New York Jewish Week via JTA) For much of its history, Yad Vashem, Israels Holocaust authority, tried to steer clear of political controversies as it went about creating a lasting memorial and research center dedicated to the Nazi genocide of 6 million Jews. That changed abruptly last year, when then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tapped Effi Eitam, a former general and far-right politician, as Yad Vashems first new chair in 27 years

IDF blacklists 6 Palestinian rights groups, enabling Israel to act against them The Israel Defense Forces officially designates six Palestinian rights groups as unauthorized organizations, the military legal equivalent of terrorist organizations, following a similar decision by Defense Minister Benny Gantz last month, despite international criticism against the move. Israel maintains that the six Palestinian organizations Al-Haq, Addameer, Defense for Children International-Palestine, the Bisan Center for Research and Development, the Union of Palestinian Womens Committees and the Union of Agricultural Work Committees serve as fronts for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group, something that the groups have repeatedly denied and that has been questioned by their European and international funders.

Its Mizrahi Heritage Month, the days leading up to November 30. In 2014, the Knesset adopted a law designating November 30 as an annual, national day of commemoration for the 850,000 Jewish refugees who were displaced from Arab countries and Iran in the 20th century. It seems like a pretty niche group of people know or recognize it, but Im sure with the help of social media, it will spread.

Attorneys representing nine members of the Charlottesville community will attempt to prove that the defendants a range of far-right groups and white supremacist figureheads, including Richard Spencer, Jason Kessler and Christopher Cantwell conspired to commit acts of racial violence and force them to pay damages that could leave them in financial ruin.
