This is awesome news. Israeli athletes are thriving like never before, which is reflective of Israel’s global and economic ascension. Israel will send it’s largest ever Olympic team to Tokyo, for next year’s Summer Olympics. Improving the performance of Israeli athletes should be a national priority for the Jewish-state. That is because every victory achieved by an Israeli athlete, is a HUGE victory against the neo-Nazi BDS Movement. Shana Tova Israel!

It will be the first time an Israeli team has taken part in the Olympics Baseball tournament, and in fact only the second time that Israel has taken part in a team sport at the Olympics since the national soccer team competed in the Montreal Olympics in 1976.
The Israeli team is a mix of homegrown talent from Israel with Jewish-American college players and some pros, who have taken on Israeli citizenship. Pros include Jeremy Wolf, 25 and Danny Valencia, 34.

The gold went to Chinese Yunxiu Lu, who was able to maintain her lead in the final race. This is the first world championship medal for Israel since surfer Maayan Davidovich’s medal back in 2014.With this medal, Spychakov all but assures her becoming the Israeli representative for the next Olympic games, by far outpacing Israel’s other 3 competitors.

The more sporting disciplines Israel competes in, especially at the top levels, the better because all those Islamic countries with their 1.4 billion people will be left looking exactly what they are.
Deficient in science, material and social progress, sporting prowess, and industry.
They will have no one to blame but themselves, they submitted to allah and he won’t help them.

Israel is a beacon in the world. Paraphrasing Churchill: so few do so much for so many.

That’s a name I haven’t heard in years. It brings back memories.
Koufax is also remembered as one of the outstanding Jewish athletes in American sports.
(I didn’t realize he is Jewish! He was GREAT.)
Did you know that Sandy Koufax was the youngest player ever inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame (36 year, 20 days / #2 – Lou Gehrig, 36 years 172 days), the first pitcher to ever throw four no-hitters, and one of only three pitchers (the other two are Walter Johnson & Grover Alexander) in baseball history to win the Triple Crown of Pitching (leading the league in wins, strikeouts and earned run average)?
