PA TV praises translator of the "Protocols"

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 11:00 PM PDT

From Palestinian Media Watch:



Ajaj Nuwahid was born in Lebanon in 1897, then moved to Syria. After the French took over Syria he decided to move to Jerusalem to fight against the British rule over Palestine and the Zionist movement. He was friends with the antisemitic Mufti of Jerusalem. He also had a role in having Jordan occupy and illegally annex the West Bank, because Palestinian Arab nationalism wasn't really what he was interested in after all. He then moved to Amman and then back to Lebanon in 1959.

Since he lived in British Mandate Palestine in 1948, he was considered a "Palestinian refugee." However, since he moved back to his hometown, he might have successfully appealed to regain his Lebanese citizenship, as a number of "Palestinian refugees" managed to do in the 1950s.

His book about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion seems to have been more than just a translation, but indeed a full anti-semitic screed written in 1967 and expanding on the themes of the Russian forgery to apply them to modern Zionism. It has been through at least four editions.

The PA is praising, and claiming as one of their own, a full blown Jew-hater and inciter.

8/17 Links: Netanyahu - key issue is Recognition of Jewish state, Totten - the Truth About Egypt

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 07:15 PM PDT

From Ian:

Israel Hayom poll: 80% of Jewish Israelis skeptical on peace talks
Some 79.7% of respondents said the talks would not end with a permanent peace accord that would resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Just 6.2% said such an agreement would be reached, and 14.1% said they had no opinion.
In a similar poll in July, 73.1% said negotiations would not lead to a peace agreement, while only 5.3% said the talks would conclude with a deal, and 21.6% had no opinion.
On the question of whether Israel should have agreed to release prisoners as a goodwill gesture alongside the talks, 77.5% said they opposed the move, while 14.2% said they supported the gesture and 8.3% had no opinion.
Netanyahu: Recognition of Jewish state is key issue in peace talks
Netanyahu made the comments during a press conference at the start of a meeting with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who is visiting the country to support recently restarted peace talks.
"We have to get to the root cause of the problem and the root cause was and remains the persistent refusal to recognize the Jewish State in any boundary," Netanyahu said, speaking in English. "It doesn't have to do with the settlements – that's an issue that has to be resolved, but this is not the reason that we have a continual conflict."

PA Foreign Min. Wants EU to 'Protect' Negotiations With Israel
"If you want to go with good faith into the resumption of talks... you do not go and announce publicly that you insist on building further illegal settlement units in the Palestinian occupied territories," Maliki said.
PA officials and their supporters have expressed anger at the plans, despite having been made aware of them prior to the start of talks, and despite the fact that the planned construction is to take place in areas which the PA has previously agreed would remain "part of Israel" in the "Two State Solution" they claim to support.
Israel faces bias at UN, Ban acknowledges
"Unfortunately, because of the [Israeli-Palestinian] conflict, Israel's been weighed down by criticism and suffered from bias — and sometimes even discrimination," Ban told the group, YNet reported. He was responding to a student who claimed Israelis felt their country was discriminated against at the UN.
"It's an unfortunate situation," Ban said, adding that Israel should be treated equal to all the other 192 member states.
Ban in Ramallah: Happy to Visit 'Palestine'
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who arrived in Ramallah on Thursday to meet PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, was quoted by AFP as having said upon his arrival that he was pleased "to visit the state of Palestine."
Will Norway help Palestinian NGO destroy ICC?
...recent developments, through the efforts of a group known as the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), whose activities are funded by Norway, may lead the new ICC prosecutor to capitulate on this complex issue. In April 2013, PCHR issued a public statement demanding that the Palestinian leadership join the ICC for no reason other than to prosecute Israeli officials.
If the ICC bows to this pressure and begins proceedings against Israelis based on double standards and false claims, this will end its moral mission and turn this body into yet another political battleground.
Manhattan Jewish Community Center Official Advocates Boycott of Israel
In a blog post published Thursday an official at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan wrote that "the importance of the use of boycott" to pressure "Israel to end the occupation is unquestionable"— as long as it's not his film festival being boycotted.
CiF Watch prompts correction to false BDS victory claim by Irish Times
Despite this victory, the Irish Times article in question is still an atrocious example of ideologically driven activist journalism, and we intend to continue monitoring the paper and holding them accountable when they engage in similarly false or misleading allegations.
Gaza jihadists call for 'jihad' against Egypt's el Sisi
Abu Hafs al Maqdisi, the leader of the Gaza-based Jaish al Ummah (Army of the Nation), today called on Egyptians to wage "jihad" against Egyptian army commander General Abdul Fattah el Sisi. Al Maqdisi, who was released from a Hamas prison in December, also called on Egyptians to overthrow "the tyrant" (el Sisi) and establish an Islamic state. In addition, al Maqdisi said he hoped that one of el Sisi's bodyguards would kill him.
Egyptian authorities arrest Sinai al-Qaeda chief
Egyptian authorities have arrested the brother of al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri, a security official said Saturday.
He said Mohammed al-Zawahri, leader of the ultraconservative jihadi Salafist group, was detained at a checkpoint in Giza, the city across the Nile from Cairo.
Michael Totten: The Truth About Egypt
I recently interviewed Eric Trager, a scholar at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He's a real expert on Egypt and has been more consistently right than just about anyone. He called out the Muslim Brotherhood as an inherently authoritarian organization while scores of other supposed "experts" falsely pimped it as moderate. And contrary to claims from the opposing camp, that the army "restored" democracy with its coup, he saw the recent bloody unpleasantness coming well in advance.
I spoke to him before this week's massacre happened, but it's clear from his remarks that he suspected something like it was coming.
Egypt considers disbanding Muslim Brotherhood
Spokesman Sherif Shawki said Egyptian Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi assigned Ministry of Social Solidarity to study the legal possibilities of dissolving the group. He didn't elaborate.
Muslim Brotherhood says leader's son killed in clashes
The group's political arm, the Freedom and Justice party, said on its official website that Mohammed Badie's son Ammar,38, was killed Friday. That's when the Muslim Brotherhood took to the streets in a "Day of Rage" — ignited by anger at security forces over clearing two sit-in camps protesting the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi, leaving hundreds dead.
Ashton Asks EU to Agree on 'Measures' Against Egypt
Ashton said responsibility for the "tragedy" taking place in Egypt in the last days "weighs heavily on the interim government, as well as on the wider political leadership in the country."
Venezuelan president: Israel, US behind Morsi ouster
Venezuela's president accused Israel and the United States of conspiring to oust former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi and stirring unrest in Syria, the AFP news agency reported on Saturday.
Hezbollah chief says he's ready to fight in Syria himself
"If the battle with these terrorist Takfiris requires for me personally and all of Hezbollah to go to Syria, we will go to Syria," he said, drawing thunderous applause from thousands of supporters gathered in a village in south Lebanon bordering Israel. The crowd watched him speak on a large screen via satellite link.
'Hitler was right,' reads graffiti at Madrid bullfight
According to Spanish media reports on Thursday, the words "Adolf Hitler was right," accompanied by a large red swastika and the Nazi leader's date of birth and death, were plastered across a section of the barrier surrounding the bullring.
Argentina urged to remove anti-Israel official
The Simon Wiesenthal Center called for the removal of an Argentinian government official for participating in an Al Quds Day ceremony.
The center wrote to the Argentinian minister of agriculture, Norberto Yauhar, seeking the ouster of acting Undersecretary of Family Agriculture Emilio Persico for attending the Aug. 2 ceremony at the At-Tawhid Mosque in Buenos Aires.
ADL likens persecution of Russian gays, Soviet Jews
The Anti-Defamation League called for a new version of the Jackson-Vanik amendment to pressure Russia to improve its treatment of gays.
Jackson-Vanik was a provision of the 1974 Trade Act that denied favored status to nations that restricted emigration. The amendment was used to pressure the Soviet Union to loosen its restrictive emigration policies.
Across the Jerusalem divide, a life saved
Haim Attias, a resident of the Mitzpe Yericho settlement and volunteer at the "Hatzalah" emergency medical organization, and Haitham Azloni, an Arab resident of East Jerusalem, met Thursday for the first time since Attias saved Azloni's life last week.
Azloni was somehow electrocuted while sitting next to a stall in the Arab bazaar near the Old City's Damascus Gate. His heart had stopped beating and "he was dead," a local Arab man who witnessed the scene recalled. "I couldn't bear to look. I walked away."

Hamas: "Hitler killed Jews for his people; Sisi killed his people for Jews"

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 05:45 PM PDT

Arab media is reporting that there was a Hamas rally on the Temple Mount on Friday.

Hamas led the rally, which was against the current Egyptian government.

One of the banners that they were carrying included a slogan that is spreading through Facebook and other media.

"Hitler killed the Jews for his people, al-Sisi kills his people for the Jews."

So in one tiny slice of time, we have Arab justification of the Holocaust, antisemitic conspiracy theories, and a desecration of the Jews' holiest place with people who want to ethnically cleanse all Jews from the region.

In other words, it is barely worth reporting in the media.


I'm writing this on Friday afternoon, and I only saw it reported in English buried in a Lebanon Daily Star article and by AFP. If this does get picked up by the media sometime Saturday, I'll happily eat my words. But I'm not holding my breath.
