Projo editorial from JCDSRI
alumni Jonathan L. Snow THE WORLD
REACTED in horror the other week as video spread over newscasts and the
Internet of beloved children’s character Mickey Mouse being used to
incite Palestinian children to hatred and violence. As international
outrage grew over this desecration of the beloved cultural icon, the
Palestinian minister of information, a member of the Hamas-led coalition
government, ordered the program, which airs on Hamas’s al-Aqsa
television network, to be shut down. Hamas has responded with contempt,
assuring NBC News that it will keep broadcasting the show as it is.

Jewish Voice:
Community
School
gets $1.2 M
to revamp programs, facility
A sometimes contentious board meeting
held at the Jewish Federation of R.I. (JFRI) on June 26 resulted in
another major victory for the Jewish Community Day School (JCDS), which
received approval for $1.2 million over five years for facility and
programmatic upgrades. The funds are not without strings attached,
however — the school must raise $3.6 million on its own and increase
enrollment from 180 to 300 students during the same time period. A
review occurring at least once annually was also a condition.
