Kosha Dillz and Matisyahu dodge BDS bullets. Two of your favourite Jewish artists unite for a new song, a response to Matisyahu’s experience playing the Rototom Sunsplash Festival in Spain. If you’ll recall, the festival first asked Matisyahu to denounce the State of Israel or he wouldn’t be able to perform. Once he refused, there was a strong outpour of support, and the festival retracted. “Approximately [one] hundred BDS ‘bullies’ created a pyramid of antagonism trying to block my view of the fans while waiving large Palestinian flags, continually giving me the middle finger, and throwing shoes at me all while holding signs reading insults like ‘Naziyahu,’” Matisyahu said to Billboard during a discussion about the song’s origins.

Israeli and Palestinian teens start a dialogue – at an Ontario summer. Heart to Heart is a program that brings Jewish and Arab Israeli teenagers at an Ontario summer camp and a week in Toronto, where they are billeted in intercultural pairs at the homes of local Jewish and Arab families. The summer program is a bid to foster a sense of togetherness and coexistence among Israeli and Palestinian teens, giving them a chance to get to know each other in a way in an intimate setting. Apparently, when they discovered that Hatikvah does not mention Arab Israelis and Fidai (the Palestinian anthem) excludes Jewish Israelis, the teens created their own inclusive anthem, which they even performed.

For greater effect, try dipping your bombs in rat poison. Last month, a Palestinian Hebron University student attempted to bomb the Jerusalem light rail before he was discovered to have been carrying makeshift explosives. On Tuesday, police added that the would-be terrorist had linked together three pipes with a large explosive, and then covered them with nails and screws dipped in rat poison. The suspect, Ali Abu Hassan, said he planned the attack as “revenge for visits by tourists and Israeli Jews to the Temple Mount,” which happens to be one of the holiest sites in Judaism – one that Jews are rarely allowed to visit, no less.

Next year (playing basketball) in Jerusalem. Amar’e Stoudemire’s relationship to Judaism has been heavily documented over the last few years – particularly in the Jewish media – as he visited Israel, shook hands with Shimon Peres, cooked Passover and Shabbat dinners, and participated in other Jewish customs. That’s why no one was surprised to learn he’d be joining Hapoel Jerusalem, the team he partially owns, on a two-year contract, following his announcement last week that he will retire from the NBA. While uprooting his family from the U.S. to Israel will certainly be a challenge, Stoudemire says he’s very excited to embark on this spiritual journey. Welcome home, Amar’e. Looking forward to having you.

Israeli company wants to make Trump’s wall a reality. Magal Security Systems Ltd., an Israeli company responsible for building the defense barrier surrounding the Gaza Strip, reportedly wants to make Donald Trump’s controversial wall between Mexico and the U.S. a reality in the unfortunate – and likely chaotic – event that he becomes President. The company’s owner recently told Bloomberg that, due to its expertise in building walls, the company could certainly handle building the one Trump has envisioned. Let’s hope not.

Arrested development wedding proposal. A Jewish New Yorker enlisted the help of three New York Police Department officers to stage a wedding proposal, duping his girlfriend (now fiance) to believe they were suspected of carrying drugs and weapons. When the cops opened up the trunk, balloons flew out and he proposed. The look on her face says it all.
