| While on the subject of China and the Jews... Posted: 21 Oct 2012 08:30 PM PDT After last night's weird video of the Chabad kid dancing in a Chinese music competition, this video of an interviewer asking Chinese people what they think about Jews seems quite normal: Smart, good at business, unified? The big nose seems to be a reasonable trade-off!

| Terrorist fans worried that Qatar construction might moderate Hamas Posted: 21 Oct 2012 03:00 PM PDT The Hamas mouthpiece Palestine Times has an op-ed of the type you are not likely to see in Western newspapers. You see, Qatar is offering hundreds of millions of dollars worth of construction material for Gaza, and it has arranged for the entry of that material from Israel and Egypt. There are a lot of unanswered questions from Palestinian people and observers of the affair, especially Hamas and its government in Gaza. The first question: What will Qatar get out of this? Will The Hamas Government be asked to pay a political price for this support?...We must recognize that Hamas welcomes any support provided to the Palestinian people as long as this support is not politicized.... There may be improbable thinking by America and Israel that there may be collusion of Qatar in this context [where construction is conditioned on a truce,] but there Second Party in the equation which is the Palestinian resistance, led by Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas, and which do not see the resistance as a tactic but as a strategy and the only way to deal with the occupier, and that this reconstruction will not prevent the resistance to respond to any aggression...In other words, don't even dream that Hamas might moderate for the better good for Gazan citizens. Let Qatar build all they want, but if Hamas feels it needs to attack Israel, and Israel invades and destroys the buildings in reaction - it isn't Hamas' fault. Don't tell Karl Vick. He is certain that Hamas is moderating, and he's said so for years. And this op-ed proves that Hamas would rather choose terror than act the way he claims they are already acting, even if paid hundreds of millions.

Clearly, Labour MEPs care as little for the plight of Palestinian Arabs of the "West Bank" as they do for the Sahrawi Arabs of the Western Sahara; the former are just another stick with which to bash Israel. They are lying when they say otherwise." The EU's Hezbollah fixation Israel. Europe permits a dormant terrorist potential to thrive in its midst, and it knows so, its denials notwithstanding. "Yet back in EU headquarters, Hezbollah is confoundingly still regarded as a social movement, part of Lebanon's legitimate civic and political structure, rather than the Iranian-backed terrorism-exporter that it is. Europe inexplicably remains impervious to Hezbollah's exceptionally bloody record and ongoing war crimes."

| French TV reporter sexually assaulted at Tahrir Square Posted: 21 Oct 2012 11:00 AM PDT From The Daily Mail: Now that this has been repeated so many times, I think we can say that this is an Egyptian cultural thing, and as such it is as worthy of respect as calling for the death of infidels, firebombing media that makes fun of Islamic prophets, bombing Jews in pizza shops, shooting rockets at civilians and other cultural habits in Arab countries. How dare the Western media take sides! This is another sacred tradition that shows the importance of masculinity in Arab culture! And the fact that police were nowhere to be found is all the proof you need that this is not considered a problem in Egypt today, despite the occasional group that complains about it.

| Egyptian police: Attempt to smuggle Jewish property papers out of Egypt Posted: 21 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT Ever since last month's conference on Jewish refugees from Arab lands conference at the UN, Egypt has been nervously reporting about demands by Jews to gain restitution for property that they lost when they were forced to flee Egypt. Now, on Friday: Cairo police seized 13 parcels in large suitcases in Nasr City containing private books and papers of Jews in Egypt. These parcels were intended to be sent out of the country, where investigations revealed that they were en route to Jordan.I asked a friend who is an expert in such matters whether this makes sense, and the respose was "It seems that the Egyptians are running scared about this whole Israeli campaign to recover Jewish assets. They are quite capable of framing a woman in order to try and scare off any Jews who might want to take the law into their own hands. And it's a warning to any Egyptian who might be thinking of helping Israel gather information!" The story seems fishy to me as well. It seems that if you wanted to smuggle papers from Egypt to Israel, Jordan would not be the preferred route - a European country would make a lot more sense. Chances are they found a lot of documents, a minority of which had something to do with Jews, and their imaginations took over from there.

| Egypt partially eases its 11-week fuel blockade of Gaza Posted: 21 Oct 2012 05:00 AM PDT From Ma'an: Fuel donated by Qatar will be pumped in limited quantities into the Gaza Strip on Sunday, an official confirmed.So Egypt has been withholding fuel from Gaza for over two months - and no one has reported it. Ma'an elliptically mentioned it in September, saying that Hamas was demanding that the Qatar fuel shipments be resumed, but it didn't note that the shipments ended because of the Sinai attack. In other words, to put this into terms that "human rights" groups would put it if Israel had done the same thing (mostly using language by PCHR, which has been utterly silent on Egypt's blockade of Gaza): Egypt made a unilateral decision to collectively punish Gazans in August by withholding fuel for the Gaza power plant. By reacting to a single attack in such a disproportionate manner, Egypt endangered the lives of over 1.7 million people, especially those who need hospital services and other round-the-clock medical care. Egypt moreover repeatedly denied pleas by the Gaza authorities to resume the life-giving shipments of humanitarian fuel, showing a callous disregard to the lives of innocent human beings. Palestinians are only granted permission by Egypt to leave Gaza in extremely limited circumstances. Exports from Gaza to Egypt are almost nil, and imports from Egypt when they arrive at all are in dramatically insufficient quantities. In contrast, before 2005, Egypt regularly exported up to 8,600 truckloads of goods per month to Gaza. The illegal closure of the Gaza Strip is enacted as a form of collective punishment by the Egyptian authorities. The current closure regime violates numerous principles of international humanitarian law and international human rights law including, inter alia, Article 43 of the Hague Regulations, and Articles 33, 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, the right to life, the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to the highest attainable standard of health, the right to freedom of movement and the right to self-determination, which is indispensable for the development of a society in which people can live with human dignity. We call on Egypt to immediately lift its illegal blockade on Gaza and to allow unlimited transfer of fuel, humanitarian aid, construction materials and consumer goods, as well as to facilitate the unlimited travel of people across the border. Moreover, we call on Egypt to allow imports of goods from Gaza. But human rights groups have not been issuing any press releases that say this, or anything close to this. Nothing about collective punishment; no pretense that Egypt is violating international law - nothing. In the past two and a half months of the Egyptian fuel blockade, no NGO even mentioned it, except for a passing reference by the UN's OCHA-OPT in early October and one in late August, as far as I can tell. Naturally, not one Western "pro-Gaza" group has raised this issue. The hypocrisy of the media and the "human rights" organizations in ignoring Egypt's conscious decision to withhold fuel from Gaza - fuel that Egypt doesn't even pay for - could not be plainer.

| MB:"Allah tells us Jews are liars" Posted: 21 Oct 2012 02:00 AM PDT Times of Israel last Wednesday reported: Incoming ambassadors from Egypt and Jordan presented their credentials to President Shimon Peres on Wednesday, both of them affirming their governments' desires to maintain their respective peace treaties with Israel and to further peace in the Middle East.The Arab world reacted to the news of this flowery letter with utter disbelief. Egyptian media quoted leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood as denying the authenticity of the letter: Leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood launched a strong attack against the Israeli press, and accused them of lying in reporting on a message by President Morsi to Israeli President Shimon Peres, published by a number of Israeli newspapers, in the framework of the ceremony of sending an Egyptian ambassador to Israel. Dr. Abdul Khaliq al-Sharif, Muslim Brotherhood official, said that God describes Jews as lying and fading. Sharif added, in a special statement for Youm7, "since when were Jews honest? How can we believe them when they are described by God, who created them, as lying."However, a spokesman for Morsi's office verified the letter's authenticity to Egyptian media: A spokesman for Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi confirmed on Thursday that the president had sent a letter to Israeli counterpart Shimon Peres calling him a good friend.(h/t Ian, Lachian)
