| Germany funding schools in Gaza that erase Jewsnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 20 Aug 04:45 AM The Hashem Elementary School "A" in Gaza was built in | | The Hashem Elementary School "A" in Gaza was built in 2017. Here's its logo: Obviously there is no room for Israel in this map - but that is what one would expect in Gaza. No big deal, right?
Except that its Facebook page shows this photo: In the background the sign has the logo for KFW, which is a German state-owned investment and development bank.
I found a video from the school of an adorable girl in front of the same sign, where it says that the school was "Funded by the Federal Republic of Germany." Germany is funding schools that erase the existence of Jews in the region.
Palestinian antisemitism is so accepted that the West doesn't even blink at things like this. But when they fund it, that is a completely different story.
Funders have influence. If Gaza schools want funding from Europe, they must agree to stop teaching hate. And if they refuse, then that means that they value teaching hate more than EU funds, which should be a valuable thing for European taxpayers to know. * * * * * *

From Ian: 30 Years Later: Remembering Crown Heights Thirty years ago, anti-Semitic mobs plundered the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn for three days, chanting Nazi slogans, destroying Jewish homes and businesses, and lynching a young Jewish seminary student. On the night of Aug. 19, 1991, a 22-year-old Orthodox Jewish man named Yosef Lifsh lost control of his car and skidded onto the sidewalk, killing a seven-year-old black boy named Gavin Cato and injuring his seven-year-old cousin. Rumors quickly spread that Lifsh had been intoxicated and that a private Jewish community ambulance service had treated Lifsh while refusing to treat the injured children—claims that were later determined to be false. The neighborhood, which was majority black with a growing Orthodox Jewish minority, erupted in violence. Within hours of the boy's death, 250 rioters descended on a Jewish religious school and set its van on fire. Mobs marched through the streets shouting "death to the Jews," smashing car windows, and beating Jewish pedestrians. Yankel Rosenbaum, a 29-year-old Jewish seminary student from Australia, was stabbed to death by rioters who shouted, "Let's get the Jew!" The police struggled to deal with the riots in the face of anti-law-enforcement sentiments in then-New York City mayor David Dinkins's office and among city leadership. Department leaders "emphasized restraint, fearing that aggressive...Read More |
Many times, I have seen the families of terror victims take the tragedy and turn it into something beautiful , such as charity organizations or rehabilitation centers.
Here is an example that is much less ambitious but no less beautiful.
Two years ago, 17-year old Rina Shnerb was murdered by a PFLP terrorist with a roadside bomb exploded as she was hiking with her family.
Her friends embroidered a gorgeous wedding canopy - a chupah - in her memory, to be used by anyone who wants or needs one for their own happy occasion. One couple, Naama Ben Chaim and Alon Eliyad, just used this canopy for their outdoor wedding. Under that chupah, a letter was read from the Shnerb parents: Dear Naama and Alon, When a baby is born we wish his parents: 'May she be merited to grow up with the Torah, the chupah and good deeds'. Thank God, we got to see Rina grow into Torah and good deeds. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see her at her chupah. Thanks to you, and thanks to all the couples who get married under the 'Rina Chupah', we get to see a type of 'her chupah '. The main theme of wedding and building a home is the continuity of the people of Israel. Rina didn't get that privilege, but the people of Israel have that privilege. It is a privilege that even though our enemies seek our destruction, to despair and weaken us, not only do we not fall, but...Read More |
Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. Tel Aviv, August 19 - A local pathogen confessed its chagrin today upon realizing that before invading the cells of its current host and hijacking their nucleic processes to produce more viruses, it neglected to examine the views and behavior of said host to determine whether it harbors conservative views, and therefore welcomes infection, or progressive views, in which case the pathogen must not enter. SARS-CoV-19 unit Delta-M-Z99999933.9034594710 admitted its oversight in an interview Thursday, and expressed its regret that the process it has unleashed on the host's cells, mainly in the respiratory system, cannot be reversed. "Listen, I'm sorry, whoever you are," the virus stated. "It's totally my bad. I know that I'm supposed to be a concern only when conservatives gather, but not when progressives do, and I flubbed this one. Unfortunately it's not up to me at this point, since all the little viruses I cloned can't tell the difference from the inside, and they're just going to do their thing. We can all hope the immune system in this host is robust enough to get this person through more or less unscathed, but obviously that's a big unknown at this early stage. Again, I'm sorry." Mainstream media narratives have long treated conservative gatherings...Read More |
From Ian: Jonathan Tobin: Can the West be honest about the Islamist threat? That fact notwithstanding, since 2001, Americans have been preoccupied with the idea that Islamophobia is our greatest worry with respect to conflicts in the Middle East. But while any instance of prejudice against Muslims is deplorable, that has produced a mindset that has seemed to argue that anyone who speaks the truth about radical Islam and those who enable it are Islamophobes. Indeed, in one of the worst such instances, the Anti-Defamation League – the organization tasked with defending Jews against anti-Semitism – actually opposed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's nomination for the post. They claimed that he was an Islamophobe because he called upon American Muslims to condemn acts of terror committed by Islamists. Groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center also regularly smear those who are honest about the Islamist threat as bigots. The left is preoccupied with criticisms of American conservatives with whom they have disagreements on many domestic political issues and whom they have falsely accused of waging a "war on women." And yet, liberal groups are curiously unenthusiastic about calling out those who are waging an actual war on women such as the government of Iran and other Islamists. Just as some who deplore terrorism seem to exclude Palestinian terror against Israel from their concerns...Read More |
Amin Husain is an adjunct professor at New York University where he teaches .Art and the Practice is Freedom and Art, Activism and Beyond. He teaches "Activism and Practice of Freedom" at the Pratt Institute.
He also gives a class titled "Race, Class, and Ethnicity in the Media" at The New School.
Oh, and Amin Husain also openly promotes violence around the world.
He is a founder and lead organizer of "Decolonize This Place" which has been pushing the slogan "Globalize the Intifada."
Decolonize social media has explicit calls to violence and rioting- not only against "Zionists" but against anyone they declare the enemy, like the police or the New York subway system. Decolonize This Place actually publishes their mindless antisemitic chants to destroy Israel and support terrorism, in case the idiots at their rallies can't repeat after the person with the bullhorn. They try to walk the line between advocating violence and pretending to be pacifists to attract followers. So while the poster above says it is "anti-war" they also say - even in these chants - that terrorism is "justified."
Husain openly advocated violence, as well as the cynical attempt to hijack Black issues, at a...Read More |
Iran and Hezbollah are trying to take advantage of Lebanon's economic crisis by sending an Iranian ship - supposedly with much needed fuel- to Lebanon, in violation of US sanctions.
Reuters reports: A shipment of Iranian fuel oil for Lebanon will set sail on Thursday organised by the Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah, the group said, warning its U.S. and Israeli adversaries the ship would be considered Lebanese territory as soon as it sailed. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said further ships would follow to help the people of Lebanon, who are enduring crippling fuel shortages as a result of the country's two-year-long financial meltdown. "We don't want to get into a challenge with anyone, we don't want to get into a problem with anyone. We want to help our people," Nasrallah said. "I say to the Americans and the Israelis that the boat that will sail within hours from Iran is Lebanese territory." Obviously, a ship doesn't become the territory of its destination. Iran and Hezbollah are trying to challenge the US and Israel to make them appear to be the aggressor for enforcing the blockade of Iranian arms and oil exports. Nasrallah is also openly challenging the government of Lebanon. In June, when he first announced his plan to import Iranian oil, he said, "Shipments of...Read More |
