| Jordanians upset at Jews praying Posted: 26 Jul 2012 08:00 PM PDT JordanZad and other Jordanian media report on a group of yeshiva student "settlers" who managed to get permission to visit the traditional tomb of Aaron in Petra. The Jews had to climb a mountain using camels and donkeys to reach the site, according to the rabbi who led the trip. And the locals weren't happy.   According to the article: Citizens are upset: The fact that the extremist settlers are practicing their religion in Jordan shows great disregard for the feelings of the people. The government must take all the responsibility of allowing them to enter Jordan and visit places dear to us and practice their religion in it. Most of the commenters are upset too. One of them defended the Jews, saying that Jordan has freedom of religion and theyshould be allowed to visit - but he quickly said that he wasn't defending the Jews who are arrogant and disrespectful people, but their religious rituals should not be disturbed. Another commented that Jews were burying fake archaeological artifacts in Petra in order to claim the land, and others keep trying to buy it.

| UAE confiscated shoes "with ‘Allah’ printed on the soles" Posted: 26 Jul 2012 03:15 PM PDT From 7 Days in Dubai, and lots of Arabic media: FOOTWEAR with 'Allah' printed on the soles has been confiscated from a shop in Ras Al Khaimah.Are you ready to see these offensive shoes?  Let's look a little closer, and reverse the image so we can see what imprint the shoe would leave in soil:  Not sure if it says "Rre" or "Rie" - or perhaps even Rio - but I know this isn't Arabic.

| Egyptian newspaper: "Death to the Jews" Posted: 26 Jul 2012 01:00 PM PDT Here is one of the top stories on the from page of Misr El Gdida, and Egyptian tabloid-style newspaper:  And in English:  Yup...that's the headline.The article is about an alleged arrest that Israeli soldiers made this morning of an imam in the Al Aqsa mosque while he was praying. The imam, curiously, is not named, making the entire article more than suspect. But if you are going to incite genocide, what's wrong with starting it with a lie?

Amb Waxman: Statement to the UN Security Council "A clear line of terror runs from the bombing in Argentina to the attack in Bulgaria. It begins and ends in Iran. The Iranian campaign of terrorism is a plague that threatens not only Israelis and Jews, but innocent people all over the globe."

The Guardian and Glenn Greenwald: The anti-imperialism of fools "The Guardian's most egregious moral blind spot – especially in light of the media group's claim to represent anti-racist values – pertains to their editors' licensing of commentators who possess an antipathy towards Jews and routinely advance tropes indistinguishable from what is normally associated with far-right Judeophobia."

| Egyptian intelligence chief meets with terrorist leaders Posted: 26 Jul 2012 09:45 AM PDT Today, Hamas' Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh met with Egyptian intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Murad Mowafy. This is not too surprising; after all Egypt's president Mohamed Morsi met with Hamas politburo leader Khaled Meshal last week. But what should raise eyebrows in the West is that Mowafy also met today with Islamic Jihad's leader in Gaza, Ramadan Shalah. Some leftist Westerners have tried to argue that Hamas, by being elected and by assuming a political role, is more than a terrorist organization and should be engaged. They are willing to look the other way when Hamas (or, for that matter, Hezbollah) shoots rockets at civilians or assassinates opponents. They say that "you can only make peace with your enemies." They seize on any hint of moderation or pragmatism on the part of unrepentant terrorist groups because, in their wishful thinking, they hope that the groups can change. But Islamic Jihad has none of these attributes. It is a terrorist group and nothing else. There is no daylight between Islamic Jihad and Al Qaeda in philosophy or tactics. For Egyptian officials to meet with Islamic Jihad should elicit a strong protest from the US, UN and the EU. Now, early in Morsi's term, is the time that the West should make it clear that coddling terrorists is not acceptable, even for the Muslim Brotherhood. But...this meeting will be ignored. Because in today's political climate, Don't Upset the Muslims is Rule #1.

| UN comes out against Arab "normalization" with Israel Posted: 26 Jul 2012 08:15 AM PDT Here's how the UN describes itself: The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 after the Second World War by 51 countries committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights.What happens when these wonderful platitudes are tested in the real world? This: The UN Middle East envoy announced on Wednesday the postponement of a concert planned for east Jerusalem, after Palestinian objections to the perceived act of "normalisation".Now, who are these groups that the UN decided has veto power over any joint Israel-Arab cultural events in parts of Jerusalem? The "National and Civil Work Committee" has zero web presence, and chances are it has only a single member, this Rassem Ebidat, whose only other claim to fame is being the contact person for the YMCA in Beit Sahoor. The only other complaint I saw about this came from the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) whose letter to Serry was dated July 24. Serry caved less than a day later. Which means that the UN really didn't try very hard to push for its vaunted standards of "international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress." Not only that, but PACBI is an extremist organization that was also against the orchestra playing in Qatar in 2010! And the orchestra is dedicated to nothing but peace, with its conductor as left-wing as possible, holding an honorary Palestinian citizenship. It is difficult to imagine an organization that is more pro-Palestinian than WEDO. But the mere hint of trouble was enough for the UN to cancel the concert, meaning that the UN "regretfully" agrees that as long as anyone objects to the existence of Jewish Israelis stepping foot over the Green Line, the UN will end up supporting them. And all its nice-sounding principles are meaningless as long as any extremist haters object. Given a choice of making a statement that it supports coexistence between Israel or that it follows the agenda of organizations who seek Israel's destruction, the UN chose the latter. And that's pretty much all you need to know about the UN.

| Palestinian terrorists fleeing from Syria to Iran, Gaza Posted: 26 Jul 2012 06:20 AM PDT From Ma'an: More than 100 Palestinian families have fled Syria due to the deterioration in safety and security resulting from the uprising against President Bashar Assad, an official said Tuesday.Which means that the PA, which still runs the embassy in Cairo, is allowing known terrorists to freely enter Gaza. Also, isn't it interesting that the PA and Cairo are allowing Gazans who lived in Syria to return, but tens of thousands of Gazans who fled to Jordan in 1967 are still stuck in refugee camps there, without even Jordanian citizenship? There is nothing stopping them from "returning" to "Palestine," yet none are going. Meanwhile, other terrorists are fleeing to equally friendly territory: The leadership of the Palestinian branch of Islamic Jihad has relocated from Syria to Iran due to the growing unrest in the country, London-based Asharq Al-Awsat reported Saturday.

| PA Olympic Committee calls a moment of silence "racism" Posted: 26 Jul 2012 04:30 AM PDT From Palestinian Media Watch: The Palestinian Authority is against the moment of silence at the Olympics to commemorate the Israeli athletes murdered at the Munich Olympics in 1972. According to the headline in the official PA daily, "Sports are meant for peace, not for racism." The article is here. The letter argues that the Olympics is not a place for politics, which a supremely hypocritical statement from the people who introduced murder for political purposes into the Olympics. PMW goes on to quote many Palestinian Arab officials who praised the people behind the Munich massacre in the same pages of Al Hayat al Jadida and other official PA media outlets: See also my post about Mahmoud Abbas' involvement in the massacre itself - something the media is ignoring this time around.

| Only 7 years ago, the EU acknowledged Hezbollah's terror acts Posted: 26 Jul 2012 01:00 AM PDT As a followup to this story about how the EU has denied that Hezbollah was a terrorist organization, here is what the EU Parliament wrote in a 2005 resolution on the situation in Lebanon: The European Parliament ,Despite this, the EU Parliament has steadfastly refused to label Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization, even as early as 2002 and 2003, despite many requests by delegates to do so. Just going to show that politics and honesty are only coincidentally coincidental.
