Along with a few thousand rockets from some garden variety antisemites. Let's learn some Torah! Because I am in the Diaspora, I will not be blogging or tweeting until Tuesday night.

In Belgium, crowds screamed "Khybar, Khybar, oh Jews, the army of Mohammed will return" - a direct call to genocide of Jews. In New York, a Jewish man is beaten and bloodied during an anti-Israel rally and others scream "Fuck you!" to him as he sought safety in a store. In Toronto, a Jewish man is beaten with sticks during an anti-Israel rally. At a London anti-Israel rally, a man literally jumps on top of Jonathan Hoffman's head. On Finchley Road, London, this morning, a car with a loudspeaker broadcast, ""Fuck the Jews" "Fuck their daughters" "Fuck their mothers" "Rape their daughters" ...and "Free Palestine." Also in the UK, a "messianic synagogue" in Norwich was sprayed with graffiti saying "Kike/Free Palestine" and a swastika. The amount of pure antisemitism in social media is unreal. Every minute there are new tweets comparing Jews (not Israelis - Jews) to Nazis, or that Hitler was right, all day and all night. Not to mention a Pakistani actress with 1.2 million followers admiringly shared a fake Hitler quote, "'I would have killed all the Jews of the...Read More 05/16 Links: Melanie Phillips: The pathology of evil; Almost Nothing You've Heard about Evictions in Jerusalem Is True; Israel showed US 'smoking gun' on Hamas in AP office tower noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 16 May 12:00 PM From Ian: Melanie Phillips: The pathology of evil As the funeral was being held in the Israeli town of Kiryat Gat today for five year old Ido Avigal, whose mother and sister were wounded in the rocket strike from Gaza, Palestinian war criminals fired projectiles at the town forcing the mourners to take cover. According to the Kan public broadcaster, the timing of the rocket fire was clearly aimed at disrupting the funeral since Kiryat Gat has not been a regular target during the current fighting. This was a war crime. All two thousand or so missiles that the Arabs have been raining down at Israel from Gaza over the last week are war crimes because they are intended to murder civilians. Hamas and their fellow jihadi attackers are guilty furthermore of a second set of war crimes in using their own civilians as hostages and human shields by deliberately siting their missile launchers, ammunition dumps and other infrastructure of war in and around apartment blocks, hospitals and schools. Yet in most of the media coverage in Britain and America, there is virtually no mention of these Palestinian war crimes. Instead, Israel is being presented as the wanton slayer of Palestinian children. The Hamas-run health ministry today put the Gaza death toll at 119, of whom 27 were minors. Israel has consistently said that about one third of the now almost 2,000 Hamas rockets aimed at Israeli civilians in recent days...Read More When a Gaza family is killed in an airstrike, there is almost certainly a terrorist in the house noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 May 09:45 AM Last week, Israel killed a large number of senior Hamas terrorists, including Bassem Issa. Hamas has issued a martyr notice for Bassem Issa which admitted that he was killed "with a group of his brothers" - but it doesn't name them. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry is not reporting their names. The Gaza "huamn rights" NGOs that pretend to list every person killed in Gaza don't mention that they were killed to begin with, let alone their names. Even though we know that many Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists have been killed, there are very few public funerals. This is all deliberate policy - to make it look like Israel is indiscriminately dropping bombs and killing only civilians. Everyone is in on this deception, whether by choice or by intimidation. Journalists, NGOs, ordinary Gazans - all are keeping...Read More The hypocrisy of journalists' anger at the IDF deception noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 16 May 07:00 AM As has been widely reported, the IDF apparently engaged in misleading journalists into thinking that IDF troops had entered Gaza last Thursday night. Here was the IDF tweet: Given that IDF ground troops were firing artillery into Gaza at the time, it appears that this was constructed to be purposefully ambiguous. Most media ran with this story, although the New York Times says that it confirmed with the IDF spokesperson that this meant IDF troops were on the ground inside Gaza. Now journalists are upset because this breaks the sacrosanct rules of telling the truth to journalists. Except that spokespeople lie to journalists all the time, and when it isn't from Israel, the journalists shrug it off. During Operation Desert Storm, General Norman Schwartzkopf showed the media dramatic video of what he said was the US destroying mobile Scud missile launchers. It was a lie - they were tanker trucks, and the US was ineffective at neutralizing the Scud threat. Reporters were in the dark for months, and there was very little outcry when the truth was discovered. And that is the US military. Statements by Palestinian officials are often out and out lies, like just this past week with...Read More    ©2021 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
