Number of Jewish lawmakers worldwide reaches record high

By Amiram Barkat

Tuesday's U.S. elections brought the number of Jewish parliamentarians worldwide to an all-time high, according to the International Council of Jewish Parliamentarians.

Following yesterday's results, the number of Jews in the Senate rose from 11 to 13 and in the House of Representatives from 26 to 30. However, the United States is still only in third place worldwide for the number of Jewish legislators, after Israel and Britain.

Britain, despite having a Jewish community 20 times smaller than that of the United States, has 59 Jewish members of parliament, including 18 in the House of Commons and 41 in the House of Lords. The latter number includes seven barons whose seats in the house were hereditary until recently. However, the umbrella organization of British Jewry said that in fact, the number of Jews in the House of Lords is even higher, totaling at least 46.

After Britain and the United States come France and Ukraine, with 18 Jewish legislators each, followed by Russia (13), Brazil (11), and Canada and Hungary (10 each). The only Arab country with a Jewish member of parliament is Tunisia.

tell me len grasso,

why does the United States continue to send welfare to these pigs?

Leaflets distributed Wednesday in Gaza, and attributed to Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades organization, also called for the resumption of terror attacks in Israel.

Meshal added that the United States also bore responsibility for the killings, in light of its support for Israel Hamas' military wing also decried Washington's "political and financial support" for Israel, and appeared to call on Muslims to attack U.S. targets, urging them "to teach the American enemy harsh lessons".
