Our World was witness yet again to change this week as we were witness to an iconic American Brand of Journalism, Time Magazine, being bought by the Co-Founder of SalesForce.Com.   We also were witness to Comcast (The parent of NBCUniversal), buy out Sky of theUK.    Our team has featured the SkyNews live broadcast in our Live Broadcast POD in our Visions and Education Property and we hope that Comcast will continue its' commitment to maintain Sky's independence.   Beyond the changing media landscape, we have also been on the prowl assessing the on-going political scene.    The reporting by the New York Times on the Deputy Attorney General along with the controversy over the Supreme Court Nomination has been making the headlines in the United States.   However, what is going on in Europe with Brexit (as Britain will leave the Union in less than 200 days), is what happened in Salzsburg.   The European Union rejected the British Prime Minister Plan and British Papers had a field

This past Friday, we conducted an educational tour of the South Hebron Hills. The aim of the tour was, as always, to see the reality of the occupation and learn about it, as well as to show our support for the Taayush activists who were violently attacked by settlers in the outpost of Mitzpe Yair, the previous weekend. About 120 people from all over Israel joined the tour, and dozens of organizations, public figures, and Members of Knesset all lent their voices of support to it.
