Newt Gingrich: The Palestinians are an Invented People
The Jewish Channel's exclusive interview with Republican Presidential Primary front-runner and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. They discussed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and other issues. Fox News reports in the video below.
In this clip, Gingrich says "I see myself as in many ways being pretty close to Bibi Netanyahu in thinking about the dangers of the world," adding "Bibi's a really tough guy, and he's a guy who puts Israel's security first; he also happens to be a free-market guy and someone who has made the entrepreneurial boom so successful."

Parking in Brooklyn
Parking in New York City is never pretty or easy, So when the driver of a silver sedan found a slight break in a row of cars in the Bushwick neighbourhood of Brooklyn, he jumped at it – even though the space could only feasibly hold a car half its size. Police say if you hit another car and leave the scene, you could receive a ticket.

The Truth About the Arab Refugees
Israel's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Ayalon explains the historical facts relating to the issue of refugees in the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The video explains the reason there are still refugees after more than six decades is because of Arab leaders' recalcitrance to accept their brethren and the United Nations which created a separate agency with unique principles and criteria. The video also highlights the issue of the Jewish refugees who were forced out of their homes in the Arab world, and were subsequently absorbed by the State of Israel.

Dr. Middos is Still Alive!
The Return of The Absolutely Marvelous Middos Machine!
VIN News - After a twenty five year hiatus, some of the best loved characters in Jewish children’s music have been resurrected with today’s release of the fourth installment in the Marvelous Midos Machine album series.
Created by the venerable Abie Rotenberg, whose poignant lyrics and classic compositions have inspired countless music lovers for decades, the Marvelous Midos Machine used a memorable cast of characters including Shnooky and Shlumpy Shapiro, Dr. Middos, Dizzy and of course the Marvelous Midos Machine itself, to educate children about good midos in an lighthearted but meaningful way. Rotenberg partnered with Moshe Yess, a’h, on Up, Up and Away, the first episode of the Marvelous Midos Machine and with Rabbi Shmuel Klein, the voice of Dr. Midos, on the episode three, titled Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?
“I never thought there would be another episode of the Marvelous Midos Machine,” Abie Rotenberg told VIN News. “The original albums were created when my own children were small and now that the grandchildren have come along, new ideas and new material came up. I think the passing of Moshe Yess was also a catalyst for this album and there is a tribute to him on the inside cover.”
Episode four of the Marvelous Midos Machine, titled Shnooky’s Bar Mitzvah, takes place in 1988, picking up just one week after the end of episode three and explores new ground including exercising patience, forgoing an opportunity that is rightfully yours for the sake of another and enthusiasm. In keeping with its tradition of conveying lessons via quality music, Shnooky’s Bar Mitzvah features catchy songs, trademark Abie Rotenberg lyrics and guest appearances by Baruch Levine and Shlomo Simcha. Several of the Rotenberg grandchildren are featured on the album as well.

Glenn Beck Discusses Book of Lubavitcher Rebbe
Glenn Beck discusses "Toward a Meaningful Life: The Wisdom of the Rebbe Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson" by Simon Jacobson.
Amazon.com Review:
A wise man taught in Brooklyn for 44 years, influencing the lives of thousands and receiving accolades from heads of state. Little known outside of Jewish circles, the Rebbe, as Menachem Mendel Schneerson is lovingly known, was a fount of spiritual strength and good sense. Toward a Meaningful Life is an adaptation of his teachings that convey his strong message of love, productivity, education, and virtue, all with the grace of a good and loving God. This is the type of spiritual wisdom that can be turned to again and again.
