| Mondoweiss' Editor at Large claims no evidence of Jewish Temples on Temple Mount Posted: 06 Jul 2013 07:45 PM PDT Annie Robbins is the "Editor at Large for Mondoweiss, a mother, a human rights activist and a ceramic artist." In one of her typically hateful pieces about how Jews are somehow taking Islamic heritage away from the second holiest Jewish site, a commenter notes: The Tomb of the Patriarchs was the most important site for Jews prior to the building of the Jewish Temples in Jerusalem, on top of which now stand the Dome of the Rock and Aksa Mosque.Annie replies: allegedly. there's no proof that was the location of some grand temple. maybe lots of jewish stuff retroactively lands itself right underneath islamic structures. did you ever think of that? jealous much?Its one thing when idiotic Arabs say that there is no evidence of any Jewish presence in the area and every bit of archaeology found there is fake, but now those same easily provable lies are being pushed by Mondoweiss! Not only that, but she has the stupidity to float the idea that Jews are so jealous of Islamic monuments that they make up a fake Jewish history after the fact! And she's an editor at a site that actually gains some respect from the Left??? Let's just throw out Josephus, the Talmud, the very stones which have been dated before Islam, tons of archaeological findings in the area, everything it says in both the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Scriptures, and so forth, and pretend that a 7th century Islamic structure pre-dates all of those! If Robbins was an editor of any normal American newspaper, she'd be fired in an instant for proving herself to have no grasp of reality, and - more importantly - for proving that her hate for Israel is more important than well-established facts. Seriously, Temple denial - at least Second Temple denial - is not much different than Holocaust denial in its goal and its a-historical nature. It is pure antisemitism. But this is Mondoweiss, so no one will say anything. Robbins will continue to "report" her lies and they will be believed by the thousands of unthinking drones who read it. (h/t Dan)      |

PA Chairman Abbas is an autocrat and therefore can't be propped up in any sustainable way with all the will in the world.Kerry's peace plan includes 'settlement freeze outside major blocs' US Secretary of State John Kerry's much-anticipated formula for peace talks progress will include the release of 103 Palestinian prisoners detained by Israel before the 1993 Oslo Accords and a freeze on all settlement construction outside the major blocs, the London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat reported Saturday.The Baker Paper: Kerry's guide to Mideast peacemaking This principle is the direct opposite of the approach taken in the past: that nothing is agreed upon until everything is agreed upon. The idea behind immediately implementing agreed-upon steps is, as the Baker paper put it, to "transform the economic, social, and security environment on the ground while working concurrently to achieve breakthroughs on permanent status issues."BBC gets one of its facts on "Palestine" right But imagine my shock when I heard – amid this feast of West-bashing and pandering to Arab grudges – the mention, en passant, of the non-existence of any "Palestine" prior to the 1920s. So unlike the Beeb to let this one slip. At roughly 6 minutes 20 seconds into the programme, the presenter and historian are perusing a pre-World War I map of the Middle East:Disgraced Former British MP Blames 'Zionist Lobby' for Iran Satellite TV Ban Disgraced British politician Lord Nazir Ahmed blamed the "Zionist lobby" for a U.S. decision to extend sanctions against Iran to international satellite television companies, which will drop all Iranian programming, regime television channel Press TV reported, quoting Ahmed.DM Digital fined £105,000 over speech that condoned murder for blasphemy A British TV channel has been fined £105,000 after it aired a live lecture by an Islamic scholar who allegedly advocated killing people who insult the prophet Muhammad.Investigation Approved on Arab Incitement Against Pro-IDF Christian Leader Israeli Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein has signed off on a secret investigation of Arab members of the Israeli Knesset over their alleged incitement against pro-IDF Christian leader Father Gabriel Nadaf, the Knesset's Internal Affairs and Environment Committee said in a statement on Wednesday.Richard Millett: Faithless guitarist Dave Randall suggests Israelis could feel "liberated" after Palestinians have exercised "right of return". At one stage there was a surreal discussion about the size of the anti-Iraq war march through London and the size of the crowds in Tahrir Square. Wiles said that although BDS wasn't as big they would, instead, be more "strategic".Mark Steyn: The Princess and the Brotherhood Ninety years ago, Fuad I's kingdom was a ramshackle Arab approximation of a Westminster constitutional monarchy: Even in its flaws and corruptions, it knew at least what respectable societies were supposed to aspire to. Nasser's one-party state was worse, Mubarak's one-man klepto-state worse still, and Morsi's antidote to his predecessors worst of all — so far. You can measure the decay in a tale of two consorts. After she left the shah, Princess Fawzia served as the principal hostess of the Egyptian court. In tiara and off-the-shoulder gowns, she looks like a screen siren from Hollywood's golden age — Hedy Lamarr, say, in Her Highness and the Bellboy (1945). Sixty years later, no Egyptian woman could walk through Cairo with bare shoulders without risking assault. President Morsi's wife, Naglaa Ali Mahmoud, is his first cousin, and covered from head to toe. If you were a visiting foreign minister, you were instructed not to shake hands, or even look at her. If you did, you'd notice that the abaya-clad crone bore an odd resemblance to the mom of the incendiary Tsarnaev brothers. Eschewing the title first lady, she preferred to be known as "first servant." Egypt's first couple embodied only the parochial, inbred dead end of Islamic imperialism — what remains when all else is dead or fled.Jeffrey Goldberg: Good Riddance to Brotherhood's Fake Democrats A few months ago, King Abdullah II of Jordan told me about his meetings with Mohamed Mursi, the now-deposed president of Egypt. The king wasn't fond of Mursi, both because the Egyptian was a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, and because Abdullah found Mursi exceedingly stupid.Barry Rubin: Egypt: A Teachable Moment in World History" Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 4, 2013Egypt on edge after clashes and Islamist pushback Egyptians were on edge Saturday morning after supporters and opponents of ousted President Mohammed Morsi fought overnight street battles that left at least 30 dead across the increasingly divided country.Security forces raid Al Jazeera Egyptian TV channel CAIRO (Reuters) - Security forces raided the Cairo offices of Al Jazeera's Egyptian television channel on Wednesday and detailed at least five staff, hours after the army toppled Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, a journalist at the station said.Former Israeli Ambassador: Destiny of Middle East Determined by Egypt Stability Yehuda Avner, a former Israeli ambassador and adviser to five prime ministers, told Facebook followers on Thursday that the destiny of the Middle East would be determined by Egypt's stability.Pope Francis to meet relatives of AMIA bombing victims Pope Francis is scheduled to meet Friday at the Vatican with a delegation of relatives of victims of the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community building in Buenos Aires.Indo-Israel trade has touched USD 6 billion: Israeli diplomat The bilateral trade which was at USD 200 million in 1992, the trade diversified and reached USD 5.15 billion in 2011 and USD 6 billion in 2012-13, Zaken said.Oren announces ending term as US envoy in fall Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren announced Friday that he would conclude his term as envoy to Washington in the fall, after four years on the job.      |
