| Projection time: Palestinians accuse Jews of creating 100,000 fake graves - including at the Mount of Olivesnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 27 Apr 04: | | The Jordanian Al Ghad newspaper claims that there are thousands of mock Jewish graves surrounding Jerusalem as a means to control lands. In occupied Jerusalem and the vicinity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, thousands of phantom Jewish graves that were planted by the Israeli occupation are spreading with great frequency and still are, surrounding and besieging the blessed mosque with imaginary symbols that are not found in history, to fully control the Waqf and Palestinian lands in the city. After 1967 and the occupation of Jerusalem, the occupation authorities seized dozens of additional dunams of land, and turned them into modern Jewish cemeteries, and new ones that were not there before, that did not contain tombstones or remains of dead bones, in order to serve settlement and Judaization. Over the past years, the occupation carried out massive falsifications of history, archeology, geography, and Arab-Islamic names in Jerusalem, in order to legitimize fake Jewish graves and create a sacred Jewish region. Specialist in Jerusalem affairs, Fakhri Abu Diab explained in his interview with Safa agency that more than 100 thousand fake graves have been planted so far on large areas of green lands, specifically in the towns of Silwan, Al-Tur and the vicinity...Read More |
AFP photographer Hazem Bader took these photos with the caption that says, "An Israeli soldier escorts a Palestinian woman to safety as Palestinian youth clash with Israeli security forces in the center of the occupied West Bank town of Hebron on April 24, 2021." Palestinians are livid that this photo exists. Imagine, a wire service photographer - a Palestinian, no less - who chooses to show something that doesn't portray every Israeli as a monster!
A number of articles and Facebook posts are quoting another journalist, Saeed al-Tawil, saying "The Syndicate of Journalists, the Ministry of Information and the Government Media Office are required to withdraw and freeze the membership of Palestinian "photographer Hazem Bader, a photographer for the AFP, after he described a photo as 'an Israeli soldier...Read More |
From Ian: Amid COVID, Israel enters top 20 club of nations with highest GDP per capita For the first time in its history, Israel ranks among the top 20 economies based on GDP per capita, Forbes Israel reports, based on International Monetary Fund data. GDP per capita breaks down a country's economic output per person and is a global measure for assessing the prosperity of nations. Small, rich countries and more developed industrial countries tend to have the highest per capita GDP. According to the data compiled by the publication, with GDP per capita of $43,689 for 2020, Israel ranked 19th out of the top 20, above No. 20 Canada, with per capita GDP at $43,278; No. 21 New Zealand, with $41,127, and the UK with $40,406 at No. 22. Luxemburg tops the ranking with GDP per capita of $116,921, followed by Switzerland, with $86,849, and Ireland with $83,850. Norway comes in fourth at $67,176, and the US fifth, at $63,416, the data showed. In 2019, Israel ranked 21st, and a decade ago it wasn't even in the top 30 leading economies, Forbes said. In 2010, Israel was ranked 32nd globally for per capita GDP. Israel seems to be emerging from its battle against the deadly coronavirus pandemic with a battered economy and massive unemployment, but still in better shape than other developed nations. The nation's gross domestic product shrank by 2.5% in 2020, its worst...Read More |
A columnist at Jordanian news site (that is popular in Egypt) Sawaleif showed yet again that anti-Zionism and antisemitism are identical. The wicked, unclean Jews, God cursed them in many verses, their ancestors were monkeys and pigs metamorphosed physically, and their offspring was metamorphosed as a moral metamorphosis, they all have the characteristics of monkeys and pigs. F Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, described them in the Great Qur'an that they have no covenant, and despite that, you find among us those who pledge to them, trust them, and coordinate with them. We know from the Noble Book of God that they are the killers of the prophets like Yahya (John the Baptist), peace be upon him, as they tried to kill Jesus, the son of Mary. peace be upon him and his mother. These demoralized Jews who were planted by Britain in our country and supported by America with money and arms, they kill Palestinian children and burn them with gasoline and fire while they are alive and attack women and defenseless sheikhs and uproot olive trees and they defame the sanctities morning and evening. It is known to all that the Master of Creation and Beloved of Truth Muhammad, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, the prophet of all humanity and the gifted mercy, he and his companions moved with their weapons against the Jews of Banu Qurayza by order of God Almighty brought by Gabriel, peace be upon him, to punish them for...Read More |
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Mahmoud Abbas' "political party" Fatah, took credit for some of the rockets that were shot to Israel over this past weekend.
These are the "moderates" who are eagerly taking credit for war crimes. "Redeem you, Jerusalem." The leadership of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Palestine, the Brigade of the Martyr Commander Nidal Al-Amoudi, is following the escalation of events in the city of Jerusalem, moment by moment, and instructing its fighters to avenge the attacks of the Zionist enemy against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy sites.
The video documents the launching of the blessed rockets by our triumphant brigades towards our occupied towns last Saturday night, in response to the enemy's continuing violations in the city of Jerusalem, and the next is greater. Sorry, did I call it a war crime? I think the people who call Israel an apartheid state refer to these as blessed resistance rockets. * * * * * *

From Ian: Jpost Editorial: How can Israel respond to rocket fire? - editorial Jerusalem is a handy battle cry and rallying point in the Muslim world. As The Jerusalem Post's Khaled Abu Toameh noted yesterday, both Fatah and Hamas are seeking to use the issue of Jerusalem to distract from the internal problems and challenges they are facing ahead of the PA elections scheduled next month. Israel so far has refrained from stating outright that it will not permit the Palestinian elections to take place in east Jerusalem, but this possibility is already being used as a way to justify both the current violence and Abbas's possible postponement of the balloting altogether. Hamas has a history of using rocket attacks on Israel to get what it wants, be it a cash inflow from Qatar, to divert attention from domestic problems, or this time, as an election ploy. The situation is a tricky one for Israel. On the one hand, it does not want to risk an escalation that could so easily spiral out of control into a full-blown war; on the other, if Israel does not respond to a massive rocket barrage on its sovereign territory, it will lose its deterrence. Hamas needs to learn that terrorism doesn't pay, and the international community needs to convey that message. There is no excuse for firing 40 rockets on a civilian population; not riots in Jerusalem and not the Ramadan festival. Residents of...Read More |
Marc Garlasco, relaxing in Nazi Iron Cross sweatshirt
Marc Garlasco was the Human Rights Watch researcher and supposed expert on military matters who was forced out of his job in 2009 when a group of bloggers, myself included, publicized his obsession with collecting Nazi memorabilia - to the point that he wrote an entire book on the subject.
Garlasco had already used his vaunted "expertise" to blame Israel for the deaths of Palestinians who were killed by hidden Hamas ordnance on a Gaza beach. The extent of his military experience was to identify "high value" military targets for the US in Iraq, and he admits that the attacks to kill those people had a zero percent success rate - but killed about 200 civilians!
He spent his entire time at HRW blaming Israel for being infinitely better at hitting targets then the US military while he was there. Anyway, this supposed expert on human rights and military matters - who once said, "That is so cool! The leather SS jacket makes my blood go cold it is so COOL!" - seems to have found quite a career after leaving HRW.
The Nazi memorabilia enthusiast naturally went to the UN - and also consulting with the US Defense Department! I guess that...Read More |
Times of Israel reports: The Palestinian Authority has decided to postpone the upcoming elections and has informed representatives of the international community as well as Egypt of its decision, Army Radio reported Monday. It is expected there will be an official announcement from Ramallah in the coming days, and the Kan public broadcaster reported that the Palestinian leadership was set to meet on the matter on Thursday. Army Radio reported that the official reason to be given for the delay was Israel's refusal to allow East Jerusalem residents to vote in the May 22 elections, the first Palestinian legislative elections in 15 years. Let's remind everyone of some facts. First of all, Israel hasn't refused to allow Arabs in East Jerusalem to vote. In previous elections, Israel allowed "ballot boxes" to be placed in some post offices, where they would be transported to the West Bank to be counted. It has not yet made a decision on whether to allow them in this election, although given that this is included in the Oslo Accords, chances are very good Israel would have allowed them in the end. Secondly, those "ballot boxes" are purely symbolic. Every single Arab in Jerusalem who wants to vote needs only to travel a short distance to the suburbs...Read More |
