| Jordanian op-ed: Muslims are privileged to bring about the next Holocaustnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 25 May 04:45 AM From Jordanian news site Saw | | From Jordanian news site Sawaleif: No one in the world, whether individual, group or state, dares to harm or annoy the evil Jews, despite their crimes, massacres, and fires that they ignite in various parts of the world. There is an exception to this rule: Muslims are the only nation that God blessed and Almighty has entrusted with punishing Jews for their crimes against God Almighty first, then against the prophets, peace be upon them, and then for the rights of people, especially the Palestinian people. And because Muslims are not able to reach this evil gang that is scattered in various parts of the world, God has brought them today to live in Palestine in order to make it easier for Muslims to subdue them by crawling towards them from every direction in order to punish them and take revenge on them and eliminate them completely, to rid the world of their evils. The exercises or maneuvering with live ammunition that are now taking place between armed Zionist terrorists and unarmed peaceful Palestinians who were displaced by the evil and armed Jewish gang from their homes to the Gaza Strip are rather preparatory exercises for the holy march of the return of Palestinians from all refugee camps in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza to their homes, their land and their homeland, to eliminate this armed Jewish division supported by the United States, and to implement the true Holocaust...Read More |
From Ian: Matti Friedman: The Americanization of the Israeli-Palestinian Debate The story of the Jewish minority in Europe and in the Islamic world, which is the story of Israel, has nothing to do with race in America. My grandmother's parents and siblings were shot outside their village in Poland by people the same color as them. If you stand on a street in the modern state of Israel and look at passersby, you often can't tell who's Jewish and who's Arab. Many Israelis are from Arab countries, and for the 6 million Jews living in the heart of the Arab world (300 million people) and in the broader Islamic world (1.5 billion people), the question of who's the minority is obviously a tricky one. Most Black people here are Jews with roots in Ethiopia. The occupation of the West Bank is supported by many Israelis mainly because they have rational fears of rockets and suicide bombings, tactics that weren't quite the ones endorsed by the American civil-rights movement. All of this is to say that although Israel, like America, is deeply messed up, it's messed up in completely different ways. Nonetheless, the belief in a fundamental similarity has caught on. While following the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, which to me seemed just and necessary, I saw a sign that read From Ferguson to Palestine. This was puzzling: American soldiers still occupied Iraq and...Read More |
I fear that what could happen is if Congress were to overturn [the Iran Deal], our friends in Israel could actually wind up being more isolated and more blamed. John "No, no, no and no" Kerry (2015) Israel's Operation Guardian of the Walls has come to a close, assuming that the ceasefire with Hamas terrorists in Gaza holds. For over a week, Israel fought to defend itself against 4,300 rockets fired against unarmed Israeli civilians, who were then forced to run with their children to the nearest bunker...So as usual, it was Israel that faced condemnation. But in one place this is becoming more difficult. Last week, the EU's foreign policy head, Josep Borrell, convened a special videoconference of ministers in a demonstration of EU unity. The idea was for the EU to both ask Hamas to stop firing rockets at Israeli civilians and to urge Israel to be "proportionate" in its response and avoid civilian casualties -- thus equating Hamas terrorists committing war crimes with a democracy defending itself once again against the attacks. At least that was the plan. But EU countries have long been ferociously divided over the Israel-Palestine question, as was clear on Sunday when the EU ambassador to the United Nations, Olof Skoog, delivered...Read More |
From Ian: Khaled Abu Toameh: The Palestinian Voices Blinken Won't Hear The renewed talk about a "two-state solution" comes amid a significant increase in the popularity of Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist group whose charter openly calls for replacing Israel with an Islamic state. It also comes at a time when Abbas's popularity is at its lowest ebb. The Palestinians are telling Blinken that he is wasting his time if he thinks that they would accept "so-called peaceful solutions" or "renounce any part of Palestine." They are also sending a warning to Abbas that recognition of Israel's right to exist and acceptance of the "two-state solution" is tantamount to treason, a crime punishable by death. Abbas is afraid that Hamas will try to stage a coup against the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.... Abbas, however, does not feel comfortable talking about the Palestinians' two rival entities, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and prefers to continue pretending that the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel is still a realistic option. As long as Israel maintains overall security control over the West Bank, Abbas can feel safe sitting in his office or at home in Ramallah. It is only Israel's presence in the West Bank that is keeping him in power and preventing Hamas from extending its control beyond the Gaza Strip. A recent public opinion poll showed that 57% of the Palestinians...Read More |

The biggest progressive lie about antisemitism is that it must be fought in conjunction with fighting racism, homophobia, Islamophobia and so forth.
It is not close to true.
There are a few reasons for that.
Firstly, none of the other hates are based on a conspiracy theory. People hate minority groups because they are the "other" or they feel threatened and people retreat into fear and hate.
But Jew-hate is different - it is the only hate that is based on a conspiracy theory. It claims that Jews (Israel) secretly control the media, the banks, the government. That they work together in secret cabals with the goal of world domination (or Middle East hegemony.) No accusation is too lurid to be hurled at Jews/Israel - baby killers, ethnic cleansers, disease spreaders, stealing organs, lying about their very history.
The tools to fight the other bigotries are not at all the same tools to fight Jew-hatred.
Secondly, when the far Left says that all bigotries should be fought together, they really mean that antisemitism goes to the back of the line. Only after the other hates are eliminated - which will never happen, because the same Left claims racism is systemic and built into the very DNA of white people - will they supposedly take up the lowest priority. Meaning, never.
Thirdly, this supposed plan doesn't account for the fact that a great deal of antisemitism comes from the other "victim" parties themselves - Black antisemitism and Arab/Muslim antisemitism are far more prevalent...Read More |
⚠️Thursday May 20th, approx. 6:44 PM, at 1604 Broadway, a male, 29, wearing a yarmulke, was assaulted by a group of males who, knocked him down, punched, kicked and pepper sprayed him and hit him with crutches, while making anti-Semitic statements. Know them? ☎️1-800-577-TIPS pic.twitter.com/NDgmJ79MHt — NYPD Hate Crimes (@NYPDHateCrimes) May 22, 2021 The only person so far arrested for that horrific assault of Joseph Borgen is Waseem Awawdeh. Here's the aftermath of the attack. When Awawdeh posted bail, he was lauded as a hero by his fellow Jew-haters. How did Awawdeh post bail?
Because a group of well-known pro-Palestinian organizations put together a fundraiser to support an antisemite.
A brand new organization called The Palestine Freedom Fund was created specifically for this fundraiser and it is managed by an alliance including Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition – NY; American Muslims for Palestine – NJ; Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network; and Within Our Lifetime – United for Palestine.
Their site says, The Palestine Freedom Fund works to support bail and legal expenses for Palestinian organizers, activists for Palestine and community members targeted for persecution. As a first initiative, we are fundraising for bail/legal support funds for Palestinian youth...Read More |
