Terrorists in the Middle East do not despise America only because the U.S. supports Israel‚ but because America is a Western society‚ according to Simcha Rothman‚ a member of the Knesset‚ Israel’s parliament. “But people that attack us‚ they are after the U.S. just the same‚” Rothman says.  “The chant in Iran—‘Death to America‚ Death to Israel’—it’s not a typo that America comes first‚” Rothman asserts‚ adding that terrorists in the Middle East view Israel “as part of Western society that is stuck in the middle of the Middle East.”  Because Western ideals threaten the radical ideology Islamic terrorists hold‚ this makes Israel‚ and America‚ an enemy‚ according to the Knesset member.  Within the Knesset‚ Rothman serves as the chairman of the Constitution‚ Law‚ and Justice Committee and as a co-chairman of the “Land of Israel” caucus. He often travels to America and warns that the Oct. 7 attack Hamas carried out on Israel taught Israel and America an important lesson; namely‚ “that you should never turn a blind eye to terror.” “You should never turn a blind eye to terror‚” warns Simcha Rothman‚ a member of the Knesset‚ Israel’s parliament‚ seen here chairing a committee hearing on March 20‚ 2023.

[Israel] let Hamas become stronger and stronger.”  He added: “We ran away from terror‚ and we thought‚ because people promised that—including the U.S.‚ sadly—that it will be OK. It wasn’t.” Rothman joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what is driving the anti-Israel protests on America’s college campuses‚ where the hostage negotiations stand between Israel and Hamas‚ and how Israel should navigate the ongoing war with Hamas to ensure there is not another Oct. 7-style attack.  Listen to the podcast below: The post Those Who Attack Israel ‘Are After the US Just the Same‚’ Knesset Member Warns appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Recent reports of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope finding signs of life on a distant planet understandably sparked excitement. A new study challenges this finding‚ but also outlines how the telescope might verify the presence of the life-produced gas.

Even though there is evidence of certain self-medication behaviors in animals‚ so far it has never been known that animals treat their wounds with healing plants.

An unusual reduction in the strength of Earth's magnetic field between 591 and 565 million years ago coincided with a significant increase in the oxygen levels in the atmosphere and oceans‚ according to a paper published in Communications Earth &; Environment. The authors propose that the weakening of the magnetic field may have led to the increase in oxygen‚ which is believed to have supported the evolution of some of the earliest complex organisms.

Think of all the information we get based on how an object interacts with wavelengths of light—aka color. Color can tell us if food is safe to eat or if a piece of metal is hot. Color is an important diagnostic tool in medicine‚ helping practitioners diagnose diseased tissue‚ inflammation‚ or problems in blood flow.

Swedish researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg have developed an AI method that improves the identification of toxic chemicals—based solely on knowledge of the molecular structure.

A group of crop systems analysts at Wageningen University and Research‚ in the Netherlands‚ has found evidence that intercropping on Mars could be a viable option for optimizing vegetable production.

Semiconductors are a cornerstone of next-generation technology‚ so a new method to excite atoms in semiconductor materials is likely to excite a broad range of researchers and industries as well.

Hvidovre Hospital has the world's first prototype of a sensor capable of detecting errors in MRI scans using laser light and gas. The new sensor‚ developed by a young researcher at the University of Copenhagen and Hvidovre Hospital‚ can thereby do what is impossible for current electrical sensors—and hopefully pave the way for MRI scans that are better‚ cheaper and faster.

Endosymbiosis‚ the intimate and long-term relationship where one organism lives inside another‚ is a cornerstone of life as we know it‚ and a key to the emergence of complex life on Earth. Many of the mysteries surrounding endosymbiosis are difficult to tackle using empirical approaches alone.
