According to Israeli legal rulings, if the residents of the homes that are in the news would just pay rent to the Jewish owners, they cannot be evicted, ever. If people are really concerned about three families perhaps becoming homeless, then why doesn't anyone just pay the rent? The reason: Honor. By paying rent, it would be admitting that Jews own the homes, which has been proven time and time again over four decades of legal rulings. But the people who are making the decision not to pay the rent don't appear to be the residents. According to a Jewish Press article, the entire case has been taken over by the PLO and they are the ones who are deciding what is best for the residents - meaning, no compromise, no accepting deals, no paying rent. To the PLO, it is more honorable for the residents to be homeless than to admit that Jews own the homes. Of course, Palestinian leaders don't have to pay the price for making a decision like this. They are forcing the hapless residents to adhere to the Higher Principle of Palestinian Honor: Sacrifice yourself for our principles. This is a pattern. If you point out that Israel has offered many peace deals that were rejected...Read More Hamas leader admits that many terror headquarters are in civilian buildings noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 06 Jun 10:46 PM The IDF tweeted this: Hamas hides in civilian buildings in Gaza. Don't believe us? Hear it for yourself from the Head of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar: pic.twitter.com/rcFPSmEfRZ — Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) June 6, 2021 Sinwar admits that Hamass has been putting its military headquarters among high rise buildings and residential buildings. Of course, this was done deliberately, so the only reasons that Hamas might be saying it is moving them now is that it is being pressured to - either quietly from Hamas-friendly NGOs, or Arab states, or perhaps even from Gazans themselves who are homeless because Hamas chose to use them as human shields. * * * * * * ...Read More When Israel exposed Nasser and King Hussein as liars in 1967 noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 06 Jun 03:00 PM On June 6, 1967, Egypt (and Jordan) accused the United States and Britain of being behind the airstrikes that destroyed the Egyptian air force. The United States emphatically denied it. Egypt was clearly embarrassed that the Jews could have been winning the war in such a dominating fashion, and this lie was to save face in the Arab world. This backfired. Badly. Two days later, Israel played a phone conversation between Egypt's President Nasser and Jordan's King Hussein where they hatched the story. Israel played the message to the Arab world over and over aain: Jordan, embarrassed, issued a statement admitting that it did not see any American or British planes: This intelligence coup was also an embarrassment for the Soviet Union, which supplied the communications equipment to Egypt and Jordan that should not have been able to be intercepted. This leak seemed to also be designed to let America know that Israel is a valuable intelligence ally. * * * * * * ...Read More 06/06 Links: UNRWA finds attack tunnel under one of its Gaza schools; Ben Shapiro: Here's THE TRUTH About the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 06 Jun 12:29 PM From Ian: Jake Wallis Simons: The problem with the New York Times' Gaza coverage That's where the New York Times comes in. It goes without saying that it's impossible to report objectively on any story when your editorial line has been decided in advance. The latest Israeli campaign was more accurate than any recent war, with combatants accounting for the vast majority of the dead. All of this is lost when you sacrifice the facts for emotive photographs of children. Don't get me wrong. Emotive photographs have their place, and we must never lose touch with the tragic cost of war. But from the point of view of the victims, there is a certain indignity in the fact that they have been used to further a political agenda. And from the point of view of the Times, it is troubling that its journalists have participated in doing so. When the front page was published, Brad Parker, a representative of the NGO, Defense for Children International Palestine (DCIP), tweeted his thanks to the Times for 'reaching out to us at @DCIPalestine to help make this front page'. This was revealing. As was evident from his Twitter name, to which he had appended the hashtag #SaveSheikhJarrah, Mr Parker was not an entirely dispassionate observer of the conflict. And a quick look at the DCIP website shows that it is hardly objective, either. What exactly did the New York Times expect when it asked them for 'help...Read More Arab pride: Egypt told the world it was winning the 1967 war noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 06 Jun 10:00 AM From the New York Times, June 6, 1967: And because Egypt wanted to maintain that fiction, it refused a cease fire demand from the UN - ensuring that it would lose far more territory: * * * * * * ...Read More Are any liberals defending the Jerusalem flag march? noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 06 Jun 07:16 AM From Times of Israel: Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Saturday said he will demand a right-wing nationalist parade through Jerusalem's Old City be called off if it "requires extraordinary security measures and endangers public order and diplomatic processes." An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Hebrew media earlier on Saturday that police would make the final call on whether the march would be held. "Israel has returned to routine, there are no current restrictions and Jews are visiting the Temple Mount," the official said. Leaders of the left-wing Labor, Meretz and Joint List parties warned earlier Saturday of the potential negative consequences of the march and indicated they believed it could be a deliberate attempt to thwart the formation of the so-called "change government." Police chiefs were set to hold a meeting Sunday to decide whether to approve the march. According to Channel 12, the parade was likely to be approved, though possibly with changes to its route, including a refusal to allow participants to pass through the volatile Damascus Gate area that was at the center of unrest in the capital last month.
