After World War II, she moved to New York before deciding to move to Israel in 2007 to join her only son, Sacha Weitman, who was then a professor of sociology at Tel Aviv University. “I feel at home,” she told reporters when she landed in Israel. Schindler, who died in 1974, was named by Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust museum as a member of the “Righteous Among the Nations” — an honor for non-Jews who tried to save Jews from Nazi extermination. The lists which Reinhardt compiled for him helped save the lives of more than 1,300 Jews at considerable risk to his own life.

see all the criminal events…by the IDF. What is it that you want? For them to give them [soldiers] a rose, for example?” Rajoub said. In response to a question on whether the Tel Aviv shooter was a terrorist, Rajoub said: “No, I don’t see him as a terrorist.” Fathis Hazem, Ra’ad Hazem’s father, praised his son’s actions on Friday. “Your eyes will see the victory soon. You will see the change. You will achieve your freedom,” he said. “G-d, liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the desecration of the occupiers.”

Where a person lives in the U.S. can affect that person’s health and access to healthcare. According to a new report, some cities in the southern USA rank as the unhealthiest, while others, in Oregon, Utah, Washington, and California, are home to the healthiest people in the nation. The WalletHub personal finance site report evaluated the 180 most populous cities in the United States, analyzing 43 indicators of good health and dividing them into healthcare, food, green space, and fitness. The data was collected over the course of one month and included the cost of a medical visit, the number of COVID-19 cases, and fruit and vegetable consumption. WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez said, “The data comes from reputable, mostly government sources, such as the Census Bureau, the Council for Community and Economic Research, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the CDC.” She noted, “People should consider the healthiest places to live because living in a city that promotes wellness and enables access to healthy food and recreational facilities can significantly improve their quality of life,” Gonzalez added. Topping the list of the U.S. healthiest city is San Francisco, California, due to its residents’ mental and physical health, 83% vaccination rate, and health insurance coverage. Brownsville, Texas, came in “dead last because of the low share of adults who engage in any physical activity, about 61%, and the low well-being physical score,” Gonzalez explained. The city has the highest share of obese residents and suffers from a lack of healthcare providers and healthy food restaurants. The country’s healthiest cities, in or-

der, are: San Francisco, California; Seattle, Washington; San Diego, California; Portland, Oregon; Salt Lake City, Utah; Honolulu, Hawaii; Austin, Texas; Denver, Colorado; South Burlington, Vermont; and Washington, D.C. On the other side of the scale, the country’s unhealthiest cities, from leastworst to absolute worst, are: Montgomery, Alabama; Columbus, Georgia; Augusta, Georgia; Shreveport, Louisiana; Charleston, West Virginia; Jackson, Mississippi; Memphis, Tennessee; Laredo, Texas; Gulfport, Mississippi; and Brownsville, Texas.

Iran Sanctions 24 Americans

Twenty-four Americans were sanctioned by Iran on Saturday. On the list are former U.S. generals and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a release that the 24 individuals were involved with “terrorist acts” and human rights violations and accused them of depriving Iran of medical supplies and supporting economic punishments against the Iranian people. The ministry also said the individuals were “financing and supporting terrorist groups and terrorist acts” against the Palestinian people in Israel. Iran’s sanctions list comes just days after President Biden’s administration announced sanctions targeting Iran’s ballistic missile program. According to the Tehran Times, the individuals named by Tehran on Saturday include former Army Chief of Staff George Casey, former Gen. Austin Scott Miller of the Joint Special Operations Command, former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, former Central Command Cmdr. Joseph Votel, and several other former military and government officials. Giuliani’s inclusion on the list means he joins former President Trump and a slew of other officials under the former president’s administration sanctioned by the country including former CIA Director Mike Pompeo, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former U.S. Ambas-
