Egyptian hotel workers sexually harass tourists, too Posted: 05 May 2013 06:00 PM PDT Given that an overwhelming majority of Egyptian women, and foreign women in Egypt, report being sexually harassed, this isn't too surprising: Hotels will be closed if staff are found to have sexually harassed tourists, Egyptian Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou has said. |
"Qatar helping Israel expand from the Nile to Euphrates" Posted: 05 May 2013 01:00 PM PDT ![]() Qatar has been under much criticism in the Arab world for trying to position itself as a player in negotiations between Israel and Palestinian Arabs. It has also been criticized for helping send fuel and construction material to Gaza, which has been making Egyptians nervous and jealous. The PA has also been critical of Qatar; at one point master liar Saeb Erekat promised to reveal documents proving that Qatar invested in Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria! (Of course, he never followed through.) An Egyptian "human rights" official this week described Qatari as the "Jews of the Gulf," apparently because of the interest it is charging Egypt for a loan. There is only one logical explanation: The Qatari leaders really are Jews. Sanity is not a prominent feature of Arabic media, leaders or spokespeople. |
Posted: 05 May 2013 11:15 AM PDT Check out this report from the Telegraph, showing Hezbollah TV: First we are told that the target was completely civilian, and held cows and chickens. We see acres of utter devastation. But - surprise! - we see a rooster somehow managed to escape unscathed and is hopping around the rubble! (h/t Eye On the World) |
Posted: 05 May 2013 10:15 AM PDT From Ian: Barry Rubin: How the Palestinians Trap Themselves and Drag the West Along Today, though, the PA is in a box of its own making. It cannot win militarily against Israel, nor will it engage in serious diplomacy with Israel. During a recent public relations' meeting in Washington, supposedly to show Arab state support for a two-state solution, the PA's representatives glowered in making clear they weren't interested in serious negotiations with Israel.Peres slams UN HR group that depicts Israel as evil President Shimon Peres on Sunday denounced the reports of the Geneva headquartered United Nations Council on Human Rights which invariably depict Israel as the evil doer rather than the victim, while never condemning the human rights abuses of those who attack Israel.Scottish Church denial of Jewish land rights sparks ire The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities said Friday that the paper is "an outrage to everything that interfaith dialogue stands for" and "reads like an Inquisition-era polemic against Jews and Judaism."Caroline Glick: Dershowitz and tragedy There are two main reasons that many leftists who are viscerally supportive of Israel have difficulty understanding and defending the Jewish state today. First, the storyline about Israel is deeply distorted.'Israel to join Turkey, Arab states to stop Iran' Israel has been working toward a cooperative agreement in compliance with Turkey and three Arab states to implement an allied system of detection technologies to defend against Iranian ballistic projectiles, British newspaper The Sunday Times reported.CAMERA: 'Flaky' Evidence, False Flags and Ha'aretz's Front-Page So, one of the U.S. officials who apparently flubbed American intelligence on Iraq warrants front-page coverage for his outlandish allegations about alleged Israeli weaponry in Syria? And Wilkerson's record on Israel is no more reassuring. For instance, he has endorsed the discredited Walt-Measheimer study on "The Israel Lobby" as containing "blinding flashes of the obvious."PMW: Father offers his son's blood for Palestine in PA TV song (version 1) EU: Considering putting Hezbollah on terror list Hezbollah's involvement in Syria is pushing European officials to seriously consider adding Hezbollah to it's terrorism list.Buenos Aires Book Fair Promotes Iranian Anti-Semitic Theories The Simon Wiesenthal Center called on the organizers of the Buenos Aires Book Fair to publicly condemn the "House of Islam" stand for its promotion of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.Wold Jewish Congress to Combat Neo-Nazism at Annual Assembly The World Jewish Congress will kickstart its annual assembly on Sunday to discuss alarming rise of neo-Nazi political parties.Jobbik rally against World Jewish Congress in Budapest Several hundred supporters took part, despite attempts by the government to prevent it going ahead.Stand With US: 'Israel Leads World Battle against Terror' The Western world is increasingly realizing that the terrorist threat it faces is the same threat that Israel has faced for decades, says Avi Posnick of the StandWithUs Israel advocacy group.Taking Israeli agritech on the road Five Israeli companies bring their farming innovations on a five-city US roadshow For CEOs of start-ups, spreading the word on a new idea or technology is a bit like being a missionary.

Outrageous BBC headline - and article - on Syria airstrikes Posted: 05 May 2013 08:53 AM PDT Say what? They don't even bother to identify the source of the scare quotes in the headline, making it appear from a glance like they are quoting a reputable source. In fact, practically the entire article only quotes Arab sources and anger at Israel. Only at the very, very end - in paragraph 26! -does it grudgingly mention After the latest attack, unnamed Western intelligence sources said the target was a weapons cache heading for Lebanon.This is not even journalism - it is the BBC acting as a propaganda mouthpiece for the most extreme haters of the Jewish state. Indeed, it is the BBC who is writing headlines coordinated with terrorists. (h/t Ben, Jameel) |
Memorial today for Charles Orde Wingate Posted: 05 May 2013 07:30 AM PDT From the Jewish Virtual Library: Born to a religious Christian family and a firm believer in the Bible, Orde Wingate passionately embraced the prophetic vision of Jewish redemption and the Jews' ultimate return to Eretz Yisrael. During his service in Eretz Yisrael, he worked to help realize that ideal.Here is the reason I am mentioning it: CIPAC (Christians' Israel Public Action Campaign)is pleased to cosponsor again this year, with the Jewish War Veterans, the Orde Wingate Memorial Service at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) this Sunday, May 5 at 2:30. |
"We have to reconquer the Negev" Posted: 05 May 2013 05:30 AM PDT An op-ed at JPost: Last Thursday TV personality Avri Gilad went on a trip to the northern Negev with Regavim – an independent, professional research institute and policy planning think tank involved in protecting Israel's national lands. So disturbed was he by what he saw on that trip that upon his return he immediately penned the following post on Facebook:The Negev problem is quite real, as I documented in February during my own trip with Regavim: Regavim is hardly a racist organization - they stress that the Bedouin were treated unfairly for decades and want to solve the problem fairly. But as long as anti-Israel NGOs reflexively attack the Jewish state no matter what, calling anyone who shows both sides of the story "racist," the problem will only grow. (h/t Y Medad) |
Syria targets this morning were rockets for Hezbollah; Obama: "We coordinate closely with Israel" Posted: 05 May 2013 03:11 AM PDT From AFP: Israel carried out a pre-dawn air strike near Damascus on Sunday, targeting Iranian missiles destined for Lebanon's Hezbollah in the second such raid on Syrian soil in three days, a senior Israeli source said. The Tower adds: Tonight's air strikes in Syria targeted sensitive military facilities, including ones staffed by Iran Revolutionary Guard personnel, according to Western government sources who focus on the Middle East and who spoke to The Tower. The US supports Israeli moves to defend itself, in this quote from President Obama: What I have said in the past and I continue to believe is that the Israelis justifiably have to guard against the transfer of advanced weaponry to terrorist organizations like Hezbollah. We coordinate closely with the Israelis recognizing they are very close to Syria, they are very close to Lebanon. Moving on to less reliable sources, here's what Russia Today adds: There have also been reports that the airstrikes targeted the 104th and 105th brigades of the Syrian Republican Guards, a source told RT Arabic. |
