Subject: The Black Keys on the Piano
At Carnegie Hall, gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the
most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded. He says, "A
lot of people don't realize that just about all Negro spirituals are
written on the black notes of the piano. Slaves were not permitted to
use the white keys.
Probably the most famous on this slave scale was written by John
Newton, who used to be the captain of a slave ship, and many believe
he heard this melody that sounds very much like a West African sorrow
chant. And it has a haunting, plaintive quality to it that reaches
past your arrogance, past your pride, and it speaks to that part of
you that's in bondage.
And we feel it. It's just one of the most amazing melodies in all of
human history." After sharing the noteworthy history of the song, Mr.
Phipps delivers a stirring performance that brings the audience to its
feet!

Yuli Edelstein: 'Every attack on Israel has Iran's fingerprints on it'
The Foreign and Defense Committee Chairman met with counterparts from the Baltic states to discuss military and intelligence cooperation.
Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein met this evening via video conference with his counterparts in the 3B Forum of Baltic States.
During the conversation, the representatives discussed the strategic importance of military and intelligence cooperation between the nations amid the many challenges they face.
It was decided during the meeting to establish a joint forum of foreign affairs and defense committee chairs from Israel and the Baltic states. Edelstein was also asked by the heads of the forum to mediate between them and NATO.
At the meeting's conclusion, the option of a joint visit and working tour of Israel was suggested.
"Normalization with Saudi Arabia is still an option. Saudi Arabia's closeness with China and Iran does not come out of great love, and the Saudi, American, and Israeli interests still overlap," Edelstein stated.
He added: "Every terrorist incident or attack on Israel, in its territory or out, has Iran's fingerprints on it. I'm not saying this out of a guess but rather from actual knowledge, and therefore the states must work to classify the IRGC as a terror organization

Contemptuous Cartoons: The Guardian’s Long History of Satirically Smearing Israel
Despite priding itself on its progressive politics and routinely lambasting rival UK news outlets for what it perceives as racism and bigotry, it is clear that Guardian editors have something of a blindspot when it comes to Jews.
The publication has an unfortunate history of printing derogatory cartoons about Jewish people — many of which were intended to be critical of the State of Israel — and then refusing to recognize the antisemitic undertones within the sketches
