Profile of Avichai Kremer Prize4Life Leader With ALS | Lou Gherig’s Disease | TheBlaze.com.

Avichai Kremer has been living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS – Lou Gehrig’s disease) for nine years.
He can no longer speak or move his hands, and may soon be on a ventilator to assist with breathing.

Kremer is cofounder and CEO of a non-profit foundation which awards SUCCESS in ALS research.
Goals are laid out by his foundation, Prize4Life, and researchers are paid the cash rewards for meeting them. In addition, prize winning scientists retain the licensing and ownership of their own successful results. A million dollar prize has gone to a researcher for developing a inexpensive diagnostic marker that accurately tracks the disease and its progression. This is a tremendous aid for all future clinical trials.
This year’s million dollar prize offering will go to the team which demonstrates a means to prolong the lives of ALS afflicted animals by 25%.

Teen Accused of Brutally Stabbing Israeli Fogel Family: ‘I’m Proud of What I Did’ | The Blaze.

18-year-old Amjad Awad  and 17-year-old Hakim Awad are charged with killing the Fogel family in Israel.   The elder of the two says that he did it all for Palestine and that he would do it again.

A reminder of the horrific killings which occurred in March 2011:  4 year old and 11 year old Fogel boys were stabbed, the 3 month old baby’s throat was slashed,  the  parents were stabbed and the mother was also shot.

Palestinian Public Relations take a Dump.

IRS to Jewish group: ‘Does your organization support the existence of the land of Israel?’ – Ben Smith – POLITICO.com.

Z Street,  a Zionist group claims that the IRS is screening non profit status applicants for views favoring Israel.

IRS agent Tracy Dornette apparently questioned this group in writing:

“Does your organization support the existence if Israel? …. Describe your organization’s religious belief system towards the land of Israel.”

This document came to light in a lawsuit filed by Z Street this past summer.

From the Politico:

Z Street claims it was told that the IRS is “carefully scrutinizing organizations that are in any way connected with Israel” and “a special unit” is determining whether it’s activities “contradict the Administration’s public policies”.

OK, line up, pro-life groups………. you’re next.
