Iranian broadcaster says Jew--er, Zionists control world media Posted: 01 Feb 2013 12:00 AM PST I love this stuff: Dr. Mohammad Sarafraz, says the Zionist system controls all the mainstream news channels in the world.The comments are gold: In America, TV stations, Newspapers, Magazines..etc. air and print news like there is nothing with America. Game shows show happy people full of life and excitement. Shows that make people feel good like times are good and they are all happy and whoever thinks otherwise areConcpericy nuts , survivalist ...etc. and while the Zionist Jews plundering the treasure of future American generations, the job of these TV stations and programs is to numb the mind and show untrue picture of what's really happening in America. And yes, Zionist Jews control all that and are al guilty of misleading and conspiring to destroy America. It's treasonous and should be all punished accordingly.Sorry, I'm late for my programming meeting with Al Jazeera... | ||
CBS bans SodaStream ad from Super Bowl. Will BDS claim credit? Posted: 31 Jan 2013 04:56 PM PST From Forbes: CBS banned SodaStream's Super Bowl spot because, apparently, it was too much of a direct hit to two of its biggest sponsors, Coke and Pepsi.Advertising Age adds: So what's the issue? The content of its planned commercial seemed to have concerned CBS because it was a direct hit at two other Super Bowl sponsors and heavy network TV advertisers: Coke and Pepsi.Here's the ad, which has already gained over 2 million views since yesterday: The BDS movement has been freaking out about the ad since it was announced, to no avail. (SodaStream is Israeli.) I'm sure they will attempt to claim credit here. The controversy will probably help SodaStream in the end, though, with more people watching the ad on YouTube than would have on CBS. However, it seems likely that the earlier British Sodastream ad, that had been banned in the UK for even dumber reasons, is being retooled for the Super Bowl without mentioning the big guys: If you really want to make the Israel-haters' heads explode like the plastic bottles in these ads, read this: SodaStream International Ltd. (SODA) is poised for its biggest gain in seven months as the Israeli maker of home soda machines seeks to expand sales in the U.S. by airing its first Super Bowl commercial.There's one other aspect of this I enjoy: watching pseudo-liberals fight against a company that helps the environment and instead side with big soda makers. All because it was created by smart Jewish Israelis. (h/t D) | ||
Posted: 31 Jan 2013 02:15 PM PST Here is the video of my lecture at Yeshiva University on Tuesday night, without me. The topic is "How to answer the most popular anti-Israel arguments." I couldn't upload it to YouTube, and while LiveLeak is slower it seemed to be the best alternative. My voice recorder was right next to my cell phone so there is some interference at times. Irritating but nothing I can do about it. Besides that, the sound is quite clean. I also had to reduce the video quality in order to make this work.The slides are still readable. I tend to say a lot of things off the cuff, so I sometimes worry if I'm being 100% accurate in these sorts of things when I'm pulling facts out of my brain in real-time without the Internet to act as my external storage. I think I did OK, though. I did not include the Hasby Awards or the Q&A. This was long enough already and I didn't repeat the questions for the recording. I hope you enjoy it! | ||
Thurslinks: Anti-semitism at Ma'an, Galloway slammed, Bklyn PoliSci BDS, HRW bias Posted: 31 Jan 2013 01:00 PM PST From Ian: Website Backed by EU, UNESCO Prints Anti-Semitic Article "[The Jews] feel inferior to the nations and societies in which they live, because of the hostility and evil rising in their hearts towards others and for their plots and schemes against the nations who know with certainty that the Jews are the root of conflict in the world, wherever they reside."

ADL Slams Brooklyn College for Allowing Political Science Department to Sponsor BDS Event "The controversy surrounding Brooklyn College's political science department, which is co-sponsoring an event aimed at building support for BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) against Israel next month, has intensified in recent days and has prompted a response from the ADL and Alan Dershowitz, as well as a petition at the college which has been signed by hundreds of students." Alan Dershowitz: Brooklyn College Political Science Department Denies Equal Free Speech and Academic Freedom to Pro-Israel Students and Faculty "The international campaign to delegitimate Israel by subjecting the Jewish state—and the Jewish State alone—to boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) has now come to the most unlikely of places: Brooklyn College. The political science department of that college has voted to co-sponsor a campaign event at which only pro-BDS speakers will advocate a policy that is so extreme that even the Palestinian Authority rejects it." Think Again: The Muslim Brotherhood How did so many Western analysts get Egypt's Islamist movement so wrong? "As the Brotherhood's first year in power has demonstrated, elections do not, by themselves, yield a democracy. Democratic values of inclusion are also vital. And the Muslim Brotherhood -- which has deployed violence against protesters, prosecuted its critics, and leveraged state resources for its own political gain -- clearly lacks these values."

The following review of HRW's 2012 activities, particularly in the Middle East, demonstrates that little has changed compared to previous years, and that the same individuals continue to control the organization's agenda and activities." Honest Reporting: Misleading, Mismatched Photos Miss Mark "While Israeli jets were on target hitting a Syrian arms convoy, The Scotsman and Daily Telegraph badly missed the mark with their choice of photos. The Irish Independent BBC R4 guest promotes Qaradawi as a source of "nuanced understanding" "That decision by the programme's editor turns a broadcast supposedly attempting to discuss and inform on the subject of antisemitism into one indirectly promoting it.

The UN insists that Jews must be ethnically cleansed from Judea and Samaria. Isn't that a crime? Posted: 31 Jan 2013 11:00 AM PST The UN Human Rights Council came out with its report on the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. To no one's surprise, it declared them illegal. But what is interesting is what they demand be done: Israel must, in compliance with article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, cease all settlement activities without preconditions. In addition it must immediately initiate a process of withdrawal of all settlers from the OPT.Let's look at the Rome Statute: Article 7: Crimes against humanityHow is the forcible transfer of Jews away from Judea and Samaria not a crime against humanity? Even if you say that the Israeli government is guilty of the heinous crime of allowing people to voluntarily move to the land of their forefathers, why are the residents being punished? Isn't this collective punishment? Did they do anything illegal? Geneva only prohibits the "occupying power" to transfer people, it doesn't prohibit the people from doing so voluntarily (more on this below.) In fact, from a quick survey, it appears that the forcible transfer of an entire population against their will violates a slew of human rights principles if not outright humanitarian laws:
Here is a relevant portion of an article in Opinio Juris by Eugene Kontorovich about some of these points: Crucially, the Convention only bars action by the "occupying power" — in other words, the government and public authorities of the country. It does not apply to the movements and real estate decisions of private individuals. Various other parts of the Convention distinguish between "nationals of the occupying Power" and "the occupying power" itself; the prohibitions of Article 49 fall exclusively on the latter.He is more concise in this more recent article: When one reads discussions of Israel and 49(6), the only precedents cited are various statements about 49(6) – in the context of Israel. One might conclude that Israel has been the only significant alleged violator in the post-War period. If there were no other arguable 49(6) cases, then this limitation would be natural. We see, yet again, that Israel is being treated uniquely by a faux "human rights" body. Of all the occupations or alleged occupations of the world, only one is considered so heinous that the [Jewish] residents - even those born there - must be forced to move. The UN Human Rights Council has just officially said that Jews must be ethnically cleansed from Judea and Samaria (there are at least a few Israeli Arabs who live in the territories but they are not being told to leave.) Again, I am not a lawyer, but it is clear that the demand to have a specific defined set of people be transferred from their own homes en masse is something that has never been demanded by any human rights body in any remotely comparable circumstances. In virtually every case of forced transfer, human rights organizations would be the first ones to condemn it. Once again, the demands - and even the interpretation of laws - are different for Israel than for every other country. The hypocrisy would be stunning if we weren't already so used to it. | ||
To this "rabbi," pork is kosher and kosher is trayf Posted: 31 Jan 2013 09:30 AM PST Off-topic, but.... From The Portland Phoenix: Rabbi Jared Saks, of Maine's largest Jewish congregation, no longer subscribes to his religion's most well-known taboo. An erstwhile vegetarian, Saks kept strictly kosher in Israel for his first year of rabbinical school. Then, upon moving back to New York, he read Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation, and everything changed. He could no longer stomach industrial (even if kosher) meat. At the time, Saks couldn't find any certified kosher, ethically raised beef.I am not so sheltered that I don't know that most Jews don't keep kosher. Hey, it is not easy; I understand that,. I am not going to judge others - we each have our own challenges and all of us fall short in one way or another. But I have a big problem with Jews - especially purported rabbis - redefining Judaism to justify their behavior. It is one thing to say that it is hard for me to do something my religion asks of me but it is a worthy goal somewhere down the line. It is another thing to say that the religious rules are outdated and were appropriate for their time. . Even that shows a level of respect for the faith. But to my mind, it is unconscionable to twist the very definition of what it means to be Jewish to fit today's fashions. Rabbi Saks could easily say that he disagrees with the practices at kosher slaughterhouses and therefore decides to be a vegetarian. But for a "rabbi" to say that pig is kosher if it is ethically raised is perverse. This isn't Judaism; it is a different religion altogether - environmentalism, liberalism, whateverism. He is cheapening Judaism to become, literally, meaningless. If Judaism is whatever makes you feel good, it isn't a religion - it is a justification to do whatever you feel like. I feel very, very sorry for his congregants to have a spiritual leader who changes the religion simply because he loves to eat bacon. And how do we know that? Because if pig meat tasted terrible, even though raising them were great for the environment, Rabbi Saks wouldn't be forcing them down his throat because of his ethics. | ||
Muslims complain about a wedding site overlooking the Kotel Posted: 31 Jan 2013 07:30 AM PST Muslims are condemning a new wedding site set up in the Old City of Jerusalem that overlooks the Kotel. No, it is not on the Temple Mount. It is not even within the Kotel courtyard. It is a hundred meters away, apparently around the site of Aish HaTorah, overlooking the courtyard and the Kotel: The Al Aqsa Heritage Foundation condemned this, saying it contributed to the "Judaization" of Jerusalem and is "affecting the basis of Islamic civilization and heritage." Other Arab media reported this horrible crime. I think they would condemn photos of Jerusalem in Jewish homes if they thought about it. It does look like a great spot for a wedding though, doesn't it? By the way, a group associated with this same Al Aqsa Heritage Foundation has been offering free Muslim weddings on the Temple Mount, something that was as far as I can tell never done historically, in order to forge another false bond between Islam and the site it usurped. | ||
Morsi again says he was misunderstood. So here are more MB texts on Jews. Posted: 31 Jan 2013 05:30 AM PST Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi keeps trying to "contextualize" his anti-semitic statements: "As I have said before the quotes were taken out of context... I am not against the Jewish faith, I am not against Jews who practice their religion," Mursi told a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.I've already noted that the Muslim Brotherhood website is filled with the most outrageous anti-semitic vitriol - without mentioning Zionism at all. Here's another example, from 2004.
They include Jewish characters from Ivanhoe, The Unfortunate Traveller by Thomas Nashe, Oliver Twist, and Egyptian novel Ahmed Daoud. The conclusion? These are the traits and characteristics of the Jewish character: instinctive love of money, treachery, treason, hypocrisy, immorality, terrorism, fear, and cowardice; qualities that are consistent in the Jewish character on any land they lived. Perhaps these qualities are the real key to know how to deal with them.I'm sure this is taken out of context, and they were really talking about the Zionists. Just like this passage on the MB website: When we read the Old Testament and the Talmud, and the resulting perceptions and ideas from studies such as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and rabbinic religious rulings and other tributaries of Jewish thought, we find personal Jewish patterns of deviant behavior against mankind, they dictate intolerance against humans from non-Jews, and false arrogant vanity on God's creations. They also suggest to them that those sources of sacred intellectual thought - in their eyes - is one of hypocrisy and deceit, and even treachery, and they shed the blood of non-Jews and take their money, and even maintain personal Jewish hostility to other human beings, inspired by those Jewish sources that are considered sacred to them, [which cause] the deviation of the Jewish character. So is Morsi lying? Not quite. He says that he is not against Jews "who practice their religion." But from his perspective, Islam defines what Judaism is - not Jews! Just like Islam decides that the Jewish Bible is a corrupted text from the original, and the Talmud has nothing to do with real Judaism, and that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are a sacred Jewish text, Islam decides which Jews are practicing their religion and which aren't. The ones who practice Judaism properly, from the Muslim perspective, are the ones who acknowledge that Islam is the one true religion that they will happily pay their jizya tax to. | ||
Fordow update - IAEA denial, ISIS cannot confirm, new enrichment at Natanz Posted: 31 Jan 2013 02:05 AM PST After we saw what appeared to be three separate confirmations of WND's detailed report that there was some sort of massive explosion at the Fordow nuclear enrichment facility in Iran, we are seeing counter-reports. First, the White House denied the report, saying it did not believe it was credible. That could be explained away, though, if the US was involved. Then the IAEA denied it as well, but their denial was a little curious: The U.N. atomic watchdog made clear on Tuesday it had seen no sign of any explosion at one of Iran's most sensitive nuclear plants, backing up Tehran's denial of media reports that such an incident had taken place last week.That isn't phrased quite as definitively as a flat out denial, but it carries some weight in trying to figure out what happened. Finally, ISIS, which monitors Iranian nuclear activities from satellite images, says it sees nothing that indicates a blast as massive as had been described: ISIS obtained from Astrium commercial satellite imagery of the site taken the day after the explosion (figure 1). The imagery shows no exterior signs of an explosion or major damage. Although an underground explosion may not leave visible exterior signs of damage, ISIS observed no intensified activity in the form of emergency or cleanup vehicles that one would expect to see around the site in the wake of an incident of this magnitude (figure 1). The lack of clarity at very high magnification does leave some doubt on whether a set of three white marks near one of the entrances of the southernmost tunnel could indeed be three vehicles. However, an emergency response would be expected to have been prompt and to have involved many more vehicles, particularly given the national importance of the gas centrifuge site and especially of the personnel working underground. A very cynical response, and I'm not sure I am that cynical, is that Iran knows that it is being monitored by satellite and chose to mute the emergency response. Meanwhile, Iran told the IAEA it would upgrade the centrifuges being used at the Natanz site. |
