No wonder college students can turn against Israel Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:45 PM PDT If they don't know the basics about the Holocaust, how can they be expected to know anything about Israel besides the poison that they are exposed to on campus? A Pennsylvania woman set out with a video camera to learn what college students in her state know about the Holocaust — and discovered an incredible lack of knowledge not only of the genocide of the Jews, but of basic facts about U.S. history and World War II. |
10/18 Links Pt2: Why Israel Can't Trust UN for Protection, Hecklers Flee Israeli Speaker Posted: 18 Oct 2013 01:00 PM PDT From Ian: Why Israel Can't Trust UN for Protection The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA), a pre-eminent Israeli think tank, has produced and published a historical/topographic video explaining the basis for Israel's rejection of the idea that international peace-keeping troops can be introduced into Judea and Samaria, to offer Israel protection if it withdraws its forces in a "peace treaty." Hecklers Flee Israeli Speaker at U of Florida "You think the IDF kills children? You should go to Syria, where everyone knows they are murdering thousands of children with gas and other cruel weapons! Go to Syria where there are actually thousands of real refugees. They need you to demonstrate in Syria, go!" Berko lectured the SJP hecklers.'Stop Being Afraid' At one point, Galloway can be heard saying that he felt "threatened" and demanded to known what Hunter was hiding under his sweater - at which point the 19 year-old student pulls out an Israeli flag, to Galloway's obvious bemusement.Comedy Half Hour: BDSers confounded in Oxford Street (video) A young man of unmistakable Middle Eastern appearance approaches a gaggle of bourgeois-looking BDSers on Oxford Street who are protesting SodaStream outside the John Lewis department store.The ultimate in Muslim victimhood mythology: 'they were victims of the Nazis, just like Jews were' There can be no ambiguity in what the artist is claiming here: Jews, gays, and ... Muslims (dressed in concentration camp outfits) were equal victims of the Nazi holocaust. The myth of Muslim victimhood and 'Islamaphobia' is one that is now constantly pushed not just by the Muslim Brotherhood, but even more so by their useful idiot leftist allies, like the 'guerilla artist' here. To cast Muslims as equal victims when they were actually among the most enthusiastic participants in the Nazi persecution of Jews takes the myth of Muslim victimhood to a whole new level; and as with most Muslim propaganda it is a perfect inversion of reality.Yerushalayim, Jerusalem, or al-Quds? Well, maybe we should call Yerushalayim "al-Quds." Why not? Western liberal Jews have so capitulated to the "Palestinian narrative" that they think within terms created by the enemies of Israel. That is, most western liberal Jews have, over the years, adopted the language that the enemies of the Jewish people use to describe the alleged atrocity which is the existence of the Jewish state..Family of Girl Hurt by Terrorist Gives Thanks Two weeks ago, nine-year-old Noam Glick was attacked by a terrorist as she played on the balcony of her family home in Psagot, north of Jerusalem.

This happened, he accused, with the protection of Israeli security forces, who prevented faithful Muslims and Waqf guards from taking the flag down.Revealed: How Richard Silverstein was duped again by a phony "source" Richard Silverstein not only devotes his blog to smearing the Jewish state – while defending even the most openly malevolent extremists – but routinely spreads wild claims and, at times, false information under the veneer of promoting "liberal" values and social justice.Analysis: Turkey's unprecedented act of betrayal against Israel This strategic alliance is manifest in the biannual meetings between the heads of Mossad and MIT and between intelligence analysts and experts on both sides.

Fatah poster shows diplomacy is a tactic, just like terror. When will the West wake up? Posted: 18 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT Palestinian Media Watch has been monitoring Fatah's official Facebook page, and it seems that every day Mahmoud Abbas' party shows its support for terrorism. This graphic they posted is pretty clear: Under the headline "Fatah - All means of struggle until statehood" the administrator of the Fatah Facebook page posted three pictures showing different "means of struggle." One picture represents diplomacy as a "means of struggle," exemplified by a picture of PA Chairman Abbas speaking at the UN. The other two pictures represent the use of different kinds of violence as a "means of struggle." One shows a man wearing an Arab headscarf throwing a stone, while the other shows a man holding a rifle.(no link, I received this via email and it does not seem to be posted yet.) There is no abhorrence for violence - it is a necessary tool. The Western world can be duped by seeing the Fatah-dominated PLO talk to them only about peace and diplomacy while in Arabic there has been no change of heart regarding terror. It isn't like we didn't know that they regard diplomacy is a tactic, not a strategy. Fatah has said it many times, and it is part of its official platform - a document that has been utterly ignored by the Western world. (I'm not aware of anyone who translated it into English besides my excepts.) In that same platform, Fatah calls for relationships with Israel's "peace camp" but emphasizes that this is in no way "normalization" with the enemy. It's just another tactic - weaken Israel with words that fools gullible US, UN and EU officials all the while celebrating terror. Hell, even Arafat swore that he gave up terror in 1993, and then he directed the suicide bombing spree of the 2000s. These are basic facts that can be checked by anyone. It is the willful blindness of diplomats, pundits and the media, combined with the willful lies spouted by the Israel-haters, that tells the world a story that is much different from the truth. |
10/18 Links Pt1: Ha’aretz- “Why Shouldn’t Hamas Dig Tunnels?”, PLO Battle for Succession Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:00 AM PDT From Ian: Khaled Abu Toameh: PLO: Battle for Succession Has Begun Several PLO and Fatah officials have recently been talking about the need for "leadership change." They maintain that it is time for the Palestinians to start thinking of replacing Abbas's old-guard regime with young and fresh leaders.Palestinians very serious... about stealing aid billions Though the international community, much of the mass media, the World Council of Churches, as well as the Palestinian leaders may persist in blaming Israel for this state of affairs, their views are belied by the voices of Palestinians themselves over the last few years. In June 2012 the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research issued the result of a poll showing that a majority of the Palestinian population thought that the Palestinian authorities were corrupt and that freedom of the press did not exist under Palestinian rule.US ambassador denounces Gaza terrorist tunnels "US condemns terrorist tunnels, supports Israel's right and ability to self-defense, and is focused on advancing negotiations for peace," tweeted the American ambassador following the tour.'Humanitarian Aid' Enables Palestinian Terrorism In June 2010, Israeli intelligence issued a warning that "Hamas uses cement for military needs," especially in the construction of munitions supply tunnels.Amira Hass: "Why Shouldn't Hamas Dig Tunnels?" Ha'aretz's Amira Hass is clearly unable to recognize intent or any moral distinction when it comes to Israel and Hamas. In her latest piece, she asks:Another 'last-first' BBC headline in report on attack on Israeli soldier The official PA news agency Wafa reported that the man was thirty year-old Yunis al Radeideh from Bet Hanina, referring to "the martyrdom of Citizen Radaideh". According to reports, al Radeideh's brother carried out a similar terror attack using a bulldozer in 2009 in Jerusalem, injuring two police officers.Iran slashed Hamas funding, senior official admits "Iran used to be the most supportive state to Hamas in all aspects: money, arms and training. We don't deny this," Abu Marzouk said. "Our position on Syria affected relations with Iran. Its support for us never stopped, but the amounts [of money] were significantly reduced."Canadian Woman Sues Iran Over Hamas Terror Attack Dr Sherry Weiss, a 43 year old dentist from Vancouver who was injured in a 1997 suicide bombing by Hamas in Israel, has submitted a damage suit against Iran, Shalom Toronto reports.Amnesty says Egypt should stop arresting, deporting Syrian refugees Officials also said 300,000 Syrians were living in Egypt, underlining that it was impossible to say that they were subject to any kind of harassment.Syria conflict: Christians 'fleeing homes' A senior Church leader in Syria has said almost a third of the country's Christians have fled their homes.Canadian UNDOF adviser released after 8 months in Syrian captivity A Canadian legal adviser to the UN peacekeeping mission on the Golan Heights was released after eight months in captivity, the United Nations announced Thursday.US said to weigh gradually unfreezing Iranian assets The plan calls for a graduated unfreezing of Iranian oversees assets without rescinding the sanctions themselves, affording US President Barack Obama the capacity to respond to offers made by Iran in the course of negotiations without undoing the years-long effort to put the existing sanctions regime into place, a unnamed senior official in the Obama administration told The New York Times late Thursday.Former Obama Advisor: Rouhani's Nuclear Offer No Different Than Ahmadinejad's Iran continues to woo the West in talks over concessions vis-a-vis the country's nuclear program. But Gary Samore, President of United Against a Nuclear Iran—which describes itself as a non-partisan, broad-based coalition committed to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons— and formerly one of U.S. President Barack Obama's point men at the National Security Council on these issues, believes Iran is all style and no substance.Iranian faces a second hanging Amnesty International has urged Iran to stay the second attempt to execute a convicted drug dealer who survived a hanging.Top Lebanese Shiite Cleric Calls For Hezbollah to Disarm Now a top Shiite cleric in Lebanon on Tuesday called for groups within the country to completely disarm. Higher Shiite Council deputy head Sheikh Abdel Amir Qabalan is certainly not the first high-ranking Lebanese official to have criticized Hezbollah's militarized state-within-a-state in recent months. But his status as a Shiite religious leader makes his criticism particularly relevant:UN Watch: Saudi Arabia refusal to take seat on UN Security Council is "victory for human rights" Saudi Arabia's refusal to take its seat on the UN Security Council, announced today via the Saudi Press Agency, is a "victory for human rights," said a Geneva-based human rights group today.Saudi Arabia rejects seat on UN Security Council ...the statement from Riyadh on Friday struck a dramatically different tone.Saudis, UAE to get US bunker-buster bombs, cruise missiles in deal worth $11b. The US Pentagon said on Thursday it plans a large arms sale to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates worth $10.8 billion.Kuwait: Coffee shops 'corrupt morals' - MP At least, that's what they're said to have told local media, while threatening to interrogate three ministers in parliament if they didn't close the "immoral" cafes within a month. The Kuwait Times says Askar al-Enezi was among MPs, religious figures and residents who rallied in Jahra, near the capital Kuwait City, claiming cafes promote vice and depravation. "Such coffee shops have no room in our society as they violate our very traditions and customs," al-Enezi said. Fellow MP Mohammad Tana told Al-Jarida newspaper: "There is a deep corruption of morals at these suspicious places." |

Fatah accuses Hamas of working for the Mossad and CIA Posted: 18 Oct 2013 05:05 AM PDT You can't make this stuff up. A Fatah delegation met yesterday with Dr. Naguib Gabriel, head of the Egyptian Union of Human Rights Organizations and a Coptic leader. After the meeting Gabriel told Egypt's Youm7 that "the Hamas movement committed massacres against the Palestinian people and opponents of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as well as many human rights violations that rise to war crimes in accordance with the laws and conventions and international treaties." Then Gabriel added, "Fatah has many documents, photographs and audio recordings to prove Hamas cooperation with the Israeli Shin Bet and the Central Intelligence Agency in America," saying that millions of dollars from Israel are being used to pay Hamas leaders every month in exchange for cooperation in the implementation of Zionist schemes. Gabriel will hold a press conference next week to discuss this evidence as well as show videos of Hamas massacring people in Gaza. Should be fun. |
Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:58 AM PDT From Ammon News: Riots erupted in night protest organized by youth pro-reform movement in Hay al-Tafaileh neighborhood in Amman, as police fired heavy tear gas to disperse the crowds and arrested four men.Jordanian riots haven't quite made it on the radar, especially with what's going on in other Arab countries. However, all it takes is one symbolic event that grabs people's imaginations, like the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia in 2010, and then all bets are off. If Jordanian police kill a protester, or rumors of torture start to spread, everything could change in an instant. |
