Heavy metal peace Posted: 11 Aug 2013 09:08 PM PDT From CNN: Khalas performing in Tel Aviv Two Israeli bands, one Jewish and one Arab, are joining together in "metal brotherhood" to spread a message of peace through rock 'n roll. Arab group Khalas (Arabic for "Enough") and Jewish band Orphaned Land are heading out on an 18-day European tour that they hope will foster tolerance between the two sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict. "We want to share the stage together, we want to show co-existence," said Kobi Farhi, Orphaned Land's vocalist. The bands will also share a tour bus for three weeks. What more perfect example of co-existence, asks Farhi. "We will snore at each other, we will do laundry together, we will make coffee for each other," he said. Among those on the tour bus will be Abed Hathout, Khalas' guitarist and band manager. "If we can do this co-existence on a bus, why can't we do it all over this country," he said. ...Farhi recounts a[n] incident when Orphaned Land played with a Tunisian band on their last tour. The Tunisian band's manager received emails asking them to boycott the tour. "If you want to interpret (touring with an Israeli band) as legitimizing, that's your interpretation ... we simply have a message that we love each other and we want to live together." Orphaned Land's lyrics are often political, observing the Middle East's governments and religion. Khalas' latest album features metal covers of '80s Arab wedding songs. "Khalas doesn't deal with politics ... it's not because we are not connected to our people or we don't care, but there are so many people talking about the occupation. "I have the right to write about having fun and love and drinking beer." Sounds like Khalas is an Arab Christian band.  I don't think any Muslim group will sing about drinking beer! Here's Khalas in concert with some heavy metal belly dancing:

List of terrorists being released this week for no good reason. And their forgotten victims. Posted: 11 Aug 2013 05:49 PM PDT Here is the list of terrorists being released by Israel on August 14 in exchange for literally nothing. Terrorist Date of Arrest Charge(s) Names of Victim(s) Fayez Mutawi al-Khur Nov-85 Murder, Attempted Murder Solomon AbuKassis, Menahem Dadon Salah Ibrahim Ahmed Mugdad Jun-93 Murder Israel Tannenbaum Samir Nayef al-Na'neesh   Mar-89 Murder Binyamin Meisner Yusef Abdel Hamid Irshaid Mar-93 Murder, Attempted Murder Nidal Rabo Ja'ab, Adnan Aj'ad Dib, Mofid Can'an, Tawfik Jaradat, Ibrahim Said Mustafa Othman al-Haj Jun-89 Murder Friedrich Rosenfeld Salameh Abdallah Musleh Oct-93 Murder David Reuben Atiyeh Salem Musa Mar-94 Murder Aizik Rotenberg (Holocaust survivor) Salah Mahmoud Mukled Jul-93 Murder, Attempted Murder Joshua Deutsch Mohamed Abdel Majid Sawalha Dec-90 Murder, Attempted Murder Baruch Heisler Atef Izzat Sha'ath Mar-93 Accessory to Murder Simha Levi Yusef Said al-Al Feb-94 Throwing a bomb, Accessory to Murder Ian Feinberg, Sami Ramadan Midhat Fayez Barbakh Jan-94 Murder Moshe Becker Ali Ibrahim al-Rai Apr-94 Murder Morris Eisenstadt Mohamed Jaber Nashbat Sep-90 Accessory to Murder Amnon Pomerantz Samir Hussein Murtaji Oct-93 Kidnapping, Manslaughter Samir al-Silawi, Khaled Malaceh, Nasser Akilah, Ali al Zaabot Hosni Faregh Sawalha Dec-90 Murder, Attempted Murder Baruch Heisler Faraj Saleh al-Rimahi Jul-92 Murder Abraham Kinstler Ala eddin Ahmed Abu Sitteh Jan-94 Murder David Daddi, Haim Weitzman Ayman taleb Abu Sitteh Jan-94 Murder David Daddi, Haim Weitzman Esmat Omar Mansour Oct-93 Accessory to Murder Haim Mizrachi Khaled Mohamed Asakreh May-91 Murder Annie Lee Nihad Yusef Jundiyeh Jul-89 Murder Zalman Schlein Mohamed Mahmoud Hamdiyeh Jul-89 Murder Zalman Schlein Jamil Abdel Wahab Natsheh Dec-92 Accessory to Murder Shmuel Gersh Taher Mohamed Zaboud Feb-93 Murder Abraham Cohen Sabih Abed Hammed Borhan Feb-01 Murder Jamil Muhamad Naim Sabih, Aisha Abdullah Kharadin I once made an infographic about what Israel gets back from "goodwill gestures." Hebrew list here. There are apparently 12 Arab victims, presumably Israeli Arabs, listed here. Since no reporter seems to bother asking the families of Jewish victims how they feel knowing that the murderers of their loved ones are being freed for no reason, I wonder whether anyone will ask the Arab families what they think about this deal.

Israelis and Palestinian Arabs agree on....K-Pop? Posted: 11 Aug 2013 02:30 PM PDT From Al Arabiya: While Israeli and Palestinian delegates return to the negotiating table in a new attempt to find common ground in the Middle East's most intractable conflict, an entirely different phenomenon is uniting young people in the region, BBC News reported earlier this week. Researchers at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, say the Korean Wave, or the "Hallyu" movement, is taking off in Israel and the Palestinian territories, the BBC reported Israel daily Calcalist as saying. There are around 5,000 K-pop followers in Israel and 3,000 in the Palestinian territories, according to researchers' estimates. They hope to bring together fans from across the divide, according to the reports. Calcalist quotes Arab student Alaa Abid saying: "It's something that gives you hope, and in Jerusalem it is sometimes hard to find hope." Calcalist newspaper quotes Dr. Nissim Atmazgin from the Hebrew University as saying that young people in Israel and Palestine see K-pop (South Korean pop) as "cultural capital" because it makes them stand out from the crowd. Hallyu refers to the interest in South Korean popular culture including K-pop, K-dramas, K-fashion and K-beauty. The Hallyu movement began with the spread of South Korean dramas to its South East Asian neighbors and has evolved over the past decade into a global phenomenon. K-pop's most famous star, pop singer Psy, topped YouTube's Most Viewed videos chart in 2012 with his song "Gangnam Style." One annual K-pop convention in Israel has reportedly seen attendance increase tenfold in three years, while Korean soap operas are apparently trumping U.S. dramas because they show how to preserve traditional culture while modernizing, and their leading characters remain positive in the face of adversity. I have previously covered South Korea's infatuation with the Talmud, as well as an interesting contrast between how South Koreans and Arabs react to terror attacks done by their members.

Secular Egyptian paper says Muslim Brotherhood is acting out the Protocols of the Elders of Zion Posted: 11 Aug 2013 12:30 PM PDT We've seen before how the secular Egyptian party al-Wafd has pushed the most bizarre anti-Zionist, anti-semitic and anti-American conspiracy theories around. Today they continue, with a long article that (yet again) describes the forgery known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - and how the Muslim Brotherhood is part of this vast Jewish conspiracy. For example, the first protocol supposedly says that the Jews must cause strife and infighting in the nations they want to destroy - and that's what the Muslim Brotherhood did! The ninth protocol says to fool people with false slogans - and that is what the Muslim Brotherhood did! The tenth protocol forces world leaders to adhere to the wishes of the Jews in order to stay in power - and this is exactly what the Muslim Brotherhood did! The article goes on and on, piling idiocy upon stupidity upon crazed conspiracy. Remember, these guys represent the secularists - the best of the best of Egypt, the ones that the West is hoping will take over (although they pretend that the West loves Morsi and always did.) Once again, I cannot find the tiniest pushback to these crazed anti-semitic conspiracy theories in the Egyptian media. Either the sane voices are too afraid to speak up, or they don't exist. Either way, it is not an auspicious sign for the future of Egypt.

Here's a prisoner that the US didn't want released Posted: 11 Aug 2013 10:30 AM PDT From the Washington Times (h/t My Right Word): U.S. law enforcement officials expressed outrage over the release from prison of Mexican drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero and vowed to continue efforts to bring to justice the man who ordered the killing of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent.' Caro Quintero was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the 1985 kidnapping and killing of DEA agent Enrique Camarena but a Mexican federal court ordered his release this week saying he had been improperly tried in a federal court for state crimes. The 60-year-old walked out of a prison in the western state of Jalisco early Friday after serving 28 years of his sentence. The U.S. Department of Justice said it found the court's decision "deeply troubling." "The Department of Justice, and especially the Drug Enforcement Administration, is extremely disappointed with this result," it said in a statement. The Association of Former Federal Narcotics Agents in the United States said it was "outraged" by Caro Quintero's early release and it blamed corruption within Mexico's justice system for his early release. The reason I bring this up, of course, is that it is generally believed that the impending release of over 100 terrorists from Israeli prison in return for "peace talks" was pushed by the Obama administration and reluctantly accepted by the Israeli government to keep good relations with the US. Israel has released prisoners in lopsided swaps before, but never for literally nothing. It is worth reading this article from Adi Moses, one of the victims of a murderer slated for release, and compare the depravity of freeing scores of similar terrorists against releasing a Mexican drug lord: You know the story of my family. In 1987 a terrorist threw a firebomb at the car my family was traveling in. He murdered my mother and my brother Tal, and injured my father, my brother, his friend and myself. It is a story you know. But me, you do not really know. I was eight years old when this happened. While my father was rolling me in the sand to extinguish my burning body, I looked in the direction of our car and watched as my mother burned in front of my eyes. ...In the room next door, my brother Tal is screaming in pain. I call out to him to count sheep with me so he can fall asleep. Three months later, little Tal dies of his wounds. I am seated, all bandaged up, on a chair in the cemetery and I watch as my little brother is buried. ...I am thirty-four years old but the last few days I have returned to being that eight-year-old facing that burning car and waiting for her mother to come out of it. Yitzhak Rabin, who was minister of defense at the time of the attack, promised my dad they would catch the terrorist. And they did. And they sentenced him. To two life sentences and another seventy-two years in prison. And you Cabinet ministers? With the wave of a hand you decided to free him – he who caused all of this story.

8/11 Links: Peace is more than a piece of paper, A New Low for J Street, Tel Aviv Protests Against Russia Posted: 11 Aug 2013 09:00 AM PDT From Ian: Netanyahu to Kerry: Palestinians continuing incitement against Israel Netanyahu wrote to Kerry that leading Palestinian Authority officials were calling for Israel's destruction even after peace talks resumed on July 31 in Washington — the first major effort since negotiations broke down in 2008. "Incitement and peace don't go together," Netanyahu wrote, explaining that new generations of Palestinians were being taught to hate Israel, further fueling the cycle of violence. "Instead of educating the next generation of Palestinians to live in peace with Israel, the education of hate poisons them against Israel and lays the groundwork for continued violence and terror," he wrote. Peace is more than a piece of paper Peace can only come when the people of Palestine learn to value individualism and life, and have representation that believes in those same principles of liberty. Instead, they have leaders who blame others for their shortcomings and demand the world pay for their services because of irresponsible and corrupt leadership. Of course, what Kerry and the Americans are missing, or refuse to accept, is that the Palestinian leadership doesn't want to stop the conflict. In addition to radical factions opposing the existence of a Jewish state in the first place, the PA itself has no interest in resolving conflict because it's how its leaders prosper. At the end of the day, the PA could not enforce an agreement even if one were to be reached. For the Obama administration to think otherwise is dangerously imperious. Negotiator Erekat: Jerusalem Will Remain Unified in Peace Deal According to a Kol Israel report on Saturday, PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat has told U.S. House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, on a visit to Jerusalem with a group of 36 Democratic Congress members, that by the end of the peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, Jerusalem will remain a unified city. Bereaved Families Ask: 'Israelis, Where Are You?' Families of victims of terrorism marched through Jerusalem on Sunday in a protest against the government's plan to approve the release of 26 terrorists. They marched from the central memorial for terrorism victims, located in Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, to the Supreme Court building, where the court is to hear a petition against terrorist release filed by the Almagor organization. J Street Cancels Poorly Attended Event, Then Covers It Up Pro-Israel insiders said that this is yet another embarrassment for a group that purports to represent the will of the American Jewish community. "Even by J Street standards, trying to scrub a Facebook event page is a new, pathetic low," said one pro-Israel official. "You'd think [Elsner] would have built up a fan base somewhere." "Apparently not even the Israel haters that J Street caters to want to hear his propaganda," the official said. (h/t Jewess) Amnesty calls on Hamas to abort scheduled executions Human rights group Amnesty International has called on Hamas to cancel the planned public hanging of several prisoners in Gaza after the ruling authorities declared they would execute the men as an example to others. "We acknowledge the right and responsibility of governments to bring to justice those suspected of criminal offenses, but the death penalty is cruel and inhuman, and there is no evidence that it deters crime more effectively than other punishments," said Philip Luther, director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International, in a press statement issued last week. Amnesty protests Hamas executions, but backs prize for defender of Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians However, Amnesty continues to back their nomination of Mona Seif for the world's top human rights prize, even though she forcefully opposed Amnesty's call on Hamas to stop targeting civilians, in repeated tweets to her 180,000 followers. Sinai jihadist group calls for unity against Israel An Islamic terror group responded to an airstrike over the weekend that killed four armed members preparing an attack on Israel by calling on Egyptians to unite against the common enemy, the Jews in occupied Palestine. The Mujahideen Shura Council of Jerusalem, a Salafist terror group based in Sinai, made the call to arms in a notification circulated in Egyptian media, Ynet reported on Sunday. "The treacherous attack, that could not have been carried out without coordination with the Egyptian army, should remind the citizens of Egypt that the primary enemy is the Jews squatting on the occupied Palestinian land," the statement said. Will Hezbollah wage terror campaign against UNIFIL? The European Union's designation of Hezbollah's military wing as a terrorist organization has cast a new light on the tussles between the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and the armed Shi'ite movement. A Hezbollah official told the Financial Times last week, "People are not going to accept you living among them and calling them terrorists." Gerald Steinberg, a professor of political studies at Bar-Ilan University and the head of the Jerusalem-based NGO Monitor, told The Jerusalem Post on Saturday, "The reports of increased friction in southern Lebanon are not surprising after the European Union belatedly added Hezbollah to the list of terror organizations." Bahrain Deports U.S. Teacher for 'Radical' Writing, Hezbollah Flag Reportedly Seen in Her Bedroom Kilbride was "using Twitter and a number of websites to publish articles on Bahrain that were deemed to incite hatred against the government and members of the royal family," the ministry said. It did not offer specifics about what she wrote, though it did say she wrote for the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. Kilbride is listed as the Yemin & Gulf States co-editor of Muftah.org, launched in 2010 with a goal to "provide incisive analysis on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) that eschewed Western obsessions with terrorism, oil, and Islamism and, instead, highlighted issues and concerns that mattered to the region's people." Syrian rebels claim they killed 40 Hezbollah, Iranian fighters According to their reports, rebels belonging to the Free Syrian Army detonated a car packed with explosives next to a compound belonging to the government defense apparatus, where the pro-Assad fighters were gathered. Members of the Shabiha, the regime's civilian-clad enforcement apparatus, were reportedly also at the compound when the blast occurred. Is a free Kurdistan, and a new Israeli ally, upon us? While Turkey, Iraq, and other countries balk at indications of increased Kurdish self-rule, an independent Kurdish state in the Middle East would be a gift for Israel, many Kurdish and Israeli experts believe. "Kurds are deeply sympathetic to Israel and an independent Kurdistan will be beneficial to Israel," argued Kurdish journalist Ayub Nuri in July. "It will create a balance of power. Right now, Israel is one country against many. But with an independent Kurdish state, first of all Israel will have a genuine friend in the region for the first time, and second, Kurdistan will be like a buffer zone in the face of the Turkey, Iran and Iraq." Radical preacher wanted over Zanzibar acid attack shot in police raid A radical Muslim preacher wanted for questioning over the acid attack on two British tourists in Zanzibar was shot on Saturday night as he fled police trying to arrest him. Sheikh Issa Ponda is understood to have survived the raid and was on the run but injured, police sources told The Daily Telegraph. He had visited Zanzibar in the weeks running up to the attack on Katie Gee and Kirstie Trup, both from north London, who were on Saturday still in hospital being treated for their injuries. Ponda earlier this month met with the imprisoned leaders of a Muslim separatist group, Uamsho, who police believe may have inspired the attack on the two women. Turkey Silences a Secularist The Turkish criminal courts have increasingly been used to further Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islamist agenda through hate-speech prosecutions. The May 22 sentencing of Turkish-Armenian Sevan Nisanyan continues this disturbing trend of strangling political and social discourse. Mr. Nisanyan is a man of many interests and talents. Linguist, journalist and hotel entrepreneur, Mr. Nisanyan is not only known for his guidebook to small, affordable hotels in Turkey, but also was awarded the 2004 Freedom of Thought Award by Turkey's Human Rights Association for advocating the open discussion on the Armenian genocide. In 2008, he authored "The Mistaken Republic: 51 Questions about Ataturk and Kemalism," arguing that Turkey's founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, established a fascist dictatorship under the guise of nationalism. Mr. Nisanyan continues to frequently publish witty critical posts against the authoritarian bodies of the Turkish government on his blog, often with direct critiques on the Erdogan regime. Nanotech's 'small world' inching ever closer The tech universe is shrinking rapidly as companies seek to make ever-tinier devices that can do ever-more powerful things. But there's a limit to how much you can shrink the silicon that goes into computers, cellphones, tablets, and the like; at that point you have to starting thinking about nanotech — developing components out of atom- or molecule-sized material (a nanometer is one-millionth of a millimeter). Nanotechnology holds great promise for the future, but there are many technical challenges on the road to that future. This week, the Weizmann Institute of Science announced that it had figured out a way to overcome one of the most daunting technological issues that has been holding back nanotech development. The breakthrough, say Weizmann experts, could help jump-start a whole industry. Dozens protest anti-gay legislation in front of Russian embassy Dozens of demonstrators gathered in front of the Russian embassy Saturday in Tel Aviv, to protest legislation targeting the LGBT community passed by Russian authorities, as well as the growing number of violent incidents against gay persons in Russia. Police reported that at least 200 protesters lined up on Hayarkon Street, carrying signs and chanting slogans against the Russian government.

Book Review: The Eyes of Abel Posted: 11 Aug 2013 07:00 AM PDT I've rarely reviewed works of fiction here, but The Eyes of Abel, by Daniel Jacobs, is worth reading. Set in the very near future,  The Eyes of Abel  starts off with a terror attack on a plane over San Francisco, where the terrorist sneaks the bomb aboard while wearing a burka. While most Americans are upset at the political correctness that allowed the authorities to let her board without proper security checks, liberal Pulitzer-winning journalist Roger Charlin is more concerned that profiling Middle Eastern-looking people at airports would create many more terrorists. To prove his assumption, he pretends to be an Arab and tries to get past El Al security in a New York airport, which is where he meets agent Maya Cohen, a (naturally) beautiful and brilliant agent who sees through his disguise and more. The plot is relatively typical of the genre. The Eyes of Abel follows the pair as they fall in love and then work to save the world from an impending war centered on Israel but really planned by an alignment of big energy players and the politicians who are in their pockets. Yes, it is somewhat formulaic. Yes, you have to suspend disbelief a bit. (Charlin manages to go through three months of the narrative without seeming to file a single story.) But that doesn't mean that the book doesn't work, and it is difficult to put down once you start. Luckily, it is pretty short - less than 200 pages - so you can finish it in an afternoon. What is most appealing, however, is that while the book works well as a Dan Brown-lite type of thriller, it also discusses the thorniest points of the Arab-Israeli conflict in a refreshingly honest way. Charlin and his colleagues are reflexively anti-Israel and Maya does a great job as she explains Israel's perspective and slowly changes Roger's mind. Media bias as well as the automatic anti-Israel bias of the world community is exposed nicely and pretty accurately, without getting in the way of the story. Plus, as the author emphasized to me, the book exposes the relationship between petrodollars and the war machines that align against Israel - and how the decline of the influence of oil could possibly bring peace. If you need a good beach read, you can't do much better than The Eyes of Abel. And if you want to ensure that people understand Israel's point of view, you will recommend it to your friends.

Knesset committee to discuss Temple Mount today; Arabic websites freaking out Posted: 11 Aug 2013 05:00 AM PDT Here is the only place I could find this story in English, from The Algemeiner last Friday: Before Jerusalem becomes the stage for the US-led peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority next Wednesday, an Israeli Knesset committee will meet on Sunday to tackle a question religious Jews have been asking since 1967, when Israel gained control of the Temple Mount and left authority over the religious hotspot in the hands of the Muslim Waqf Council. The confounding issue of Israeli police not allowing Jews to pray on the Temple Mount is being taken up by Likud lawmaker Miri Regev's Interior Committee, according to The Temple Institute's Rabbi Chaim Richman, who led a prayer vigil at the Temple Mount as a peaceful protest this week. While I see one Hebrew source saying that the Knesset will discuss opening the Mount to Jews during the Jewish holidays next month, even it doesn't mention anything about allowing Jews to pray there. Neither does the Knesset website, which similarly says that the mere half-hour discussion is about allowing Jews to visit during the High Holiday period but nothing explicitly about prayer. (It is followed by a half hour about security at Kotel HaKatan.) However, this is huge news in the Arab media worldwide. The headline in the Khaleej Times (UAE) is "'Knesset' discusses today to legitimize the desecration of Al Aqsa." The article says that the discussion will also include whether to open all of the gates to the Temple Mount to Jews, not only the Moroccan Gate. I see over a dozen Arabic articles from Egypt to Moscow similarly warning that the Knesset may allow Jews to pray on their holiest site. Today was the first time Jews were allowed to visit the Temple Mount since the middle of Ramadan about two weeks ago. Some of the visitors noticed some evidence that the Waqf had engaged in illegal demolitions with earth-moving equipment while Jews were barred from the area.

Kairos hypocrites upset at IDF recruiting Christians Posted: 11 Aug 2013 02:00 AM PDT Kairos, the Israel-hating Christian organization that tries to twist Biblical theology into an anti-Zionist (and anti-semitic) screed, is upset that the IDF is now actively recruiting Christians to join up: The Palestinian Christian Initiative (Kairos Palestine) issued a statement strongly denouncing the Israel attempts to recruit Arab Palestinian Christians, in historic Palestine to the Israeli military that occupies their people. The statement came in response to the Israeli decision to form a joint committee of Palestinian Christians, and the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu, with the aim to encourage and act on recurring young Arab Christians in the Israeli army. Kairos stated that the officials who are encouraging enlistment in the occupation army are conducting provocative actions that harm Christian Churches, national interests and the Christians themselves. "Those who call for recruiting Christians to the occupation army do not represent us, do not represent our Churches, and do not represent the Christians", Kairos said, "It seems that some of those who have been deceived chose a wrong path that does not serve our interests and faith as Arab Christians". It added that trying to recruit the Christians is immoral, and harms the Palestinian Christian identity in the Holy Land. "We need to be united, we need to protect our national identity, only our Arab, Palestinian, identity will be able to protect us, and protect our interests", Kairos said, "Our choice will not be sectarian, but will only be national unity between all Palestinians regardless of their beliefs and faith". ...When Kairos Palestine was established in December of 2009, it published its mission statement calling for people, justice and equality, expressed it rejection to the Israeli occupation, all sorts of apartheid in the world, and called for justice and equality. You get that? They claim that they want equality, but then they say that Israel giving Christians the same rights and responsibilities as Jews is immoral. Calling them hypocrites is an understatement. What kind of equality does Kairos want? The one where Jews don't have any rights to self-determination, where they are expected to act like good little dhimmis under Muslim rule, and where there is no state of Israel protecting Jews from bigots like these Arab Christians who pervert their very religion to express their hate. Christians are being targeted and harmed in Syria and Egypt, they are fleeing Lebanon and Iraq - but these haters who masquerade as people of faith are obsessed with the Jewish state, the one place in the entire Middle East where the Christian population is increasing. Somehow, I don't think that their primary interest is the well-being of Israel's Christians.
