Jewish Voice for Peace in Boston got together with Students for Justice in Palestine to hold a protest on Saturday that, judging from the photos, barely attracted 20-25 people. I couldn't find any local coverage of this non-event. The poster for the event listed five sponsoring organizations, and the Facebook page said 25 attended, with most of the "interested" staying away. Despite the anemic turnout, this protest was covered in Palestinian and some Arab media...Read More Cartoon of the Day: Obvious racism noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 02 May 03:00 PM * * * * * * ...Read More 05/02 Links: A Hasidic singer, a dozen boys and teens, a father of 11: All 45 Meron victims; Wikipedia – the most active spreader of antisemitism on the planet; HRW chairman invests in Israel as he calls it 'apartheid' noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 02 May 12:00 PM From Ian: A Hasidic singer, a dozen boys and teens, a father of 11: All 45 Meron victims The identification of all 45 victims from the Mount Meron tragedy has been completed, Israel's Abu Kabir Forensic Institute said Sunday morning. The victims, all male, included brothers, children as young as 9, young fathers, and rabbis. At least two families lost multiple children. Among the victims of the fatal crush caused by overcrowding in a narrow walkway were 10 foreign citizens: six Americans, a British national, two Canadians, and an Argentinian. The incident, which happened early Friday during celebrations of the Lag B'Omer festival, is the country's deadliest-ever civilian disaster. Police on Sunday said a man who took part in the pilgrimage was still missing and asked the public for help in locating him: Icht Haim Yitzhak, 39, was last seen at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday at Mount Meron. He is 6 foot 1 (185 centimeters), thin and bearded. Dozens were buried Friday, but funeral services ceased during the Sabbath, from Friday evening until Saturday nightfall. The Abu Kabir Forensic Institute said in a statement Sunday morning that by midnight it had completed the grim task of identifying all 45 victims. By the morning 44 of the bodies had been released for burial and the last, at the request of the family, was to be released later in the day, the statement said...Read More The Arabs in the WWII British Army didn't exactly distinguish themselves noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 02 May 09:45 AM From The Arab war effort, a documented account, written by the American Christian Palestine Committee. Desertions from the armed forces of Middle East countries—both by high ranking Arab officers and by soldiers-form a chapter of their own. Desertion was repeatedly urged in Nazi radio and leaflet propaganda and by the Fifth Column in each country. The Arab leaders in Germany vigorously propagandized against enlistment of Arabs in the British Army. This, as it happened, was hardly necessary. So few Palestine Arabs joined the Army that Syrians, Lebanese and Transjordanians were encouraged to cross into Palestine and enlist as Palestinians, to fill the quota fixed for Palestine Arab units. It will be recalled that Jewish enlistment in parallel Jewish infantry units was held down to the Arab rate-a rather peculiar service to the war effort on the part of the Palestine Administration. It took the steadily · worsening military situation in the Middle East and the continued pressure by Jewish volunteers to break down this attempt at "equality." In all, as the Secretary of State for War stated in the 18 Al-Bilad of May 28, 1941, House of Commons on April 2, 1945, 25,714 Palestinian Jews served in the British Forces and 9,041 Arabs. Many Arab soldiers from Palestine went over to the enemy. The Germans had some success with the help of Arab leaders in mobilizing recruits for their Arab brigades from among Palestinian Arab...Read More Newest Palestinian lie: Israel budgeted 537 BILLION shekels to "Judaize" Jerusalem noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 02 May 07:15 AM The International Middle East Media Center, which pretends to be an independent and objective media outlet, "reports" about the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood that was ethnically cleansed of Jews in 1948: Israel is planning to build and establish more than 540 colonialist units in the area, and is currently building 54 units, in addition to the ongoing efforts to link them with the Police Command in Sheikh Jarrah and the French Hill settlement in addition to the Hebrew University, as part of the so-called "Jerusalem Belt" colonialist plan linking the colonies with different Palestinian areas in al-'Isawiya, Rad al-'Amoud, Wadi ar-Rababa and many other areas, and aim at connecting East Jerusalem with West Jerusalem with this belt of illegal colonies after displacing the indigenous Palestinians. The Israeli colonialist plan, which is intended to be implemented in phases through many years, was put forth by the government, the Jerusalem City council, the Israel Antiquities Authority and various colonialist organizations in Israel and other counties [sic], and has a budget of 537 Billion Israeli Shekels. NIS 537 billion is a really specific sounding number! Where did that come from? It was made up by "activist" Fakhei Abu Diab, whom...Read More    ©2021 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
