The Tel Aviv Family Court decided to intervene in a dispute between parents who had separated about their children’s vaccinations and ruled that if a mother refused to vaccinate her son, the father would be obligated to vaccinate him – as requested by the father.
In a decision published on Ynet, Judge Vered Shavit Finkelstein determined, according to a medical opinion submitted to her, that the routine immunizations given in Israel are safe, necessary and effective, and the complications around them are very rare.
According to the court, the manner in which the mother presented the damage of the vaccines, based on data appearing on the “Chasson” website, is incorrect, misleading and distorted. It was also determined that the approach that parents’ decision n...

The U.S. Navy ordered a broad investigation into the performance and readiness of the Pacific-based 7th Fleet after the USS John S. McCain and an oil tanker collided in Southeast Asia, leaving 10 U.S. sailors missing and five injured.
It was the second major collision in two months involving the 7th Fleet. Seven sailors died in June when the USS Fitzgerald and a container ship collided in waters off Japan.
Vessels and aircraft from the U.S., Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia were searching for the missing sailors. Four other sailors were evacuated by a Singaporean navy helicopter to a hospital in the city-state for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, the Navy said. A fifth was taken to the hospital by ambulance after the destroyer arrived in Singapore under its own power, the Mar...

Vice President Mike Pence says state and local authorities should make decisions about Confederate statues, and he calls himself “someone who believes in more monuments, not less monuments.”
As for the fate of Confederate statues at the U.S. Capitol, Pence says it’s up to states to pick the figures represented.
He tells “Fox & Friends” that “what we have to walk away from is a desire by some to erase parts of our history just in the name of some contemporary political cause.”
Pence recalls traveling to Selma, Alabama, in 2010 to walk with civil rights leader John Lewis, and the vice president favors monuments honoring those “who’ve helped our nation move toward a more perfect union.”
The violence in Charlottesville, Virgin...

The Senate health committee will hold two hearings early next month on how the nation’s individual health insurance marketplaces can be stabilized, as party leaders grasp for a fresh path following the collapse of the Republican effort to repeal and replace much of former President Barack Obama’s health care law.
GOP and Democratic leaders are exploring whether they can craft a bipartisan but limited bill aimed at curbing rising premiums for people who buy their own insurance. In many markets, consumers are seeing steeply rising premiums and fewer insurers willing to sell policies.
A Sept. 6 hearing will feature state insurance commissioners. The next day’s witnesses will be governors. Both groups will be bipartisan, but aides said the names will be released later.
The...

A 20-year-old college student hiking in the Colorado Rockies died on Thursday from altitude sickness.
Collegeville resident Susanna DeForest was hiking towards Colorado's Conundrum Hot Springs when she began experiencing shortness of breath and vomited on the trailhead, the Times Herald reported.
Seeing that DeForest was not up to continuing, the group of four set up camp for the night. Two of the group went for help, while a third remained with DeForest. Since there is no cell phone service in the area, the two had to hike all the way down, reaching their destination at nearly 11:00p.m.
A rescue helicopter sent was unable to land in the dark near DeForest. By the time authorities arrived at 3:30a.m. on Friday, it was too late.
DeForest was studying at Pennsylvania'...

Dear Friends,
I am trying to write this letter while my keyboard is drowning in tears. I spent the day yesterday with Avrom and Michal Gruen, from Cleveland, at the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital; watching as they sat at their 7 year old daughter’s bedside for hours, begging and praying for her to wake up, even for an instant. One eye opened for a second, and there was a moment of relief, albeit for just a short moment. Just view Michal’s...

The Jordan incident: Jordanian newspaper Al-Rudd reported on Saturday that Jordan would not fold and allow the Israeli embassy staff to return to Amman, Jordan, until Israel publicly apologized for the killing of two civilians in an Israeli embassy in Amman. In addition, the return of the embassy staff depends on the end of the legal process and on an Israeli commitment to bring the “murderer”, as they speak, to trial.
The Israeli embassy in Jordan staff was returned to Israel about two weeks ago after a Jordanian citizen came to do some carpentry work at the home of the Israeli embassy guard. Following an argument, the Jordanian stabbed the security guard in Bamberg and the security guard shot him dead. The embassy staff, which had been locked up inside the embassy for a whol...

It is amazing but nonetheless true – the Jerusalem light rail operator, CityPass, has earned seven million shekels in fines in the past four years. This according to a query posed by MK (Yahadut Hatorah) Uri Maklev, to which the response was given by Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz.
Maklev turned to Minister Katz in the form of a letter, writing that in 2011, CityPass began operating in Jerusalem and since that time, many summonses have been issued, with a certain percentage given unjustifiably. He then asked to probe how many summonses were issued to date and other facts pertaining to fines on the light rail.
In his response, Katz states in the four years of the light rail’s operation, 68,635 summonses were issued, amounting to 6,932,599 shekels. He added the record yea...

The U.S. warship involved in the collision off Singapore before dawn Monday has a name many Americans recognize — but not for its father-and-son namesakes.
Most know Sen. John S. McCain III, the Vietnam War hero who ran for president in 2000 and 2008. But it was his father and grandfather — both naval commanders who served during World War II — who inspired the naming of the 154-meter (505-foot) guided-missile destroyer.
The USS John S. McCain was damaged in a collision with a Liberian-flagged oil tanker, leaving 10 sailors missing and another five injured. It was not immediately clear how the collision occurred.
Sen. McCain said he and his wife were praying for the sailors aboard. “Cindy & I are keeping America’s sailors aboard the USS John McCain in o...

A Meretz party delegation headed by party leader MK Zahava Gal-On, met on Sunday, 28 Menachem Av, with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) in Ramallah. A number of other party MKs were present as well.
The PA leader explained he has already met with emissaries of US President Donald Trump, and they continue to stress the White House’s commitment to the two-state solution, adding they do not stress this in conversations with PM Netanyahu.
Abbas reportedly explained that while at present, there is no security cooperation, the PA is doing all it can to prevent attacks.
While stating she is not a supporter of Hamas or the regime ruling over Gaza, Gal-On expressed concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Abu Mazen explained that 25% of funding for Gaza was halted when Hamas too...

U.S. and South Korean troops kicked off their annual drills Monday that come after President Donald Trump and North Korea exchanged warlike rhetoric in the wake of the North’s two intercontinental ballistic missile tests last month.
The Ulchi Freedom Guardian drills are largely computer-simulated war games held every summer and have drawn furious responses from North Korea, which views them as an invasion rehearsal. Pyongyang’s state media on Sunday called this year’s drills a “reckless” move that could trigger the “uncontrollable phase of a nuclear war.”
Despite the threat, U.S. and South Korean militaries launched this year’s 11-day training on Monday morning as scheduled. The exercise involves 17,500 American troops and 50,000 South Kore...

President Donald Trump’s racially fraught comments about a deadly neo-Nazi rally have thrust into the open some Republicans’ deeply held doubts about his competency and temperament, in an extraordinary public airing of worries and grievances about a sitting president by his own party.

In interviews with Associated Press reporters across nine states, 25 Republican politicians, party officials, advisers and donors expressed worries about whether Trump has the self-discipline and capability to govern successfully.
