• Today, President Barack Obama signed into law an expansion of military cooperation with Israel. Of course, this has nothing to do with the arrival of Mitt Romney in Israel tomorrow. [Haaretz]

• Activists in favor of releasing imprisoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard will be greeting Mitt Romney with placards featuring John McCain, who supports Pollard’s release from jail. [Jpost]

• Metro North commuters outside of Manhattan will get a pro-Israel posters with their morning train rides to counter the anti-Israel ones that went up last month. [Times of Israel]

• Madonna will continue to use swastika images in her concerts. Just for Marine Le Pen though. [Jewcy]

• Buenos Aires is aiming to become the kosher capital of South America with help from a new city initiative. Buenos Aires is home to 240,000 Jews. And steak. [JTA]
