Veteran Journalist Ben Caspit Declares Election a 'Point of No Return'

Veteran Israeli journalist Ben Caspit described the upcoming Knesset elections as a "point of no return" in a column for "Maariv." He characterized the election as a clash between "original Zionism and messianic nationalism" and warned of potential economic and security collapse due to the Haredi conscription issue. Caspit also claimed Prime Minister Netanyahu admitted to intending to pass the "conscription law" post-election and recently filed a NIS 200,000 defamation suit against Channel 14.

Pioneer Soviet Jewry Activist Baruch Asher Dies at 90

Baruch Asher, a "Prisoner of Zion" and activist for Soviet Jewry, has died at 90. Born Boris Kuchubievsky in Kyiv, he was imprisoned for his Zionist activities after protesting the Soviet erasure of Jewish identity at Babi Yar. His activism symbolized the struggle for Soviet Jews' right to immigrate to Israel, contributing to the eventual aliyah of one million people. He immigrated to Israel in 1972, lived in Jerusalem, and is survived by three children and grandchildren.
