But he's proven himself to be an antisemite long ago. noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 26 Sep 04:45 AM Mondoweiss has an exclusive, which is being gleefully reproduced in Iranian and Palestinian media: Retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson is the former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell who emerged as a leading critic of the neoconservatives. In remarks to Mass Peace Action last June, he made some bracing assertions about Israel that I just saw the other day: Israel won't exist as a state in 20 years because it is delegitimizing itself as an apartheid state. Israel is a "strategic liability of the first order" for the United States and is "the most likely state in the world to take the United States to Armageddon." The U.S. ought to tell Israel now to "change swiftly" or it will cease to fund and protect Israel, but the U.S. will not do so. The neoconservative agenda in the Middle East was "to...Read More 09/25 Links: Why the Haters of Israel Are Hypocrites; Bennett on Iraqis' call for normalization: 'Israel extends its hand in peace'; The New York Times tips its anti-Semitic hand noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 25 Sep 10:00 PM From Ian: Why the Haters of Israel Are Hypocrites We are faced today with a very remarkable phenomenon, one in which a group of people have decided that they are not simply the finest and most moral people in the world, but the finest and most moral people who have ever existed. For such people, hypocrisy is inevitable. But the hypocrisy of these self-appointed saints is most acute on the issue of Israel and their hatred of it. There are innumerable examples of this, but it is worth noting a few of the most blatant: Imperialism and Colonialism: The claim that Israel is an imperialist and colonialist state is one of the oldest cliches proffered by the saints. Israel, they claim, is an invasion of Palestine by a foreign people who colonized it at the expense of the indigenous population. These invaders must either "go back to Poland" — as the vulgar among them put it — or be exterminated. We may put aside, for the moment, the complications of the term "indigenous" — no one, after all, is indigenous to anywhere except to the savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. If we must use the saints' vague definition of the term, however, then we should note that even the most avowedly secular archeologists — who reject most or all of the biblical narrative — agree that the Jewish nation began several thousand years ago as a subset of the indigenous Canaanite tribes of the Levant. More to the point, however...Read More 09/24 Links Pt2: When will the 'happy dhimmi' myth be discredited?; 300 prominent Iraqis publicly call for full peace with Israel; Abbas demands Israel withdraw to 1967 'borders' within a year noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 24 Sep 05:00 PM From Ian: Lyn Julius: When will the 'happy dhimmi' myth be discredited? Colonial rule is considered by Western supporters of the myth to have disrupted this happy relationship. In practice, the colonial powers "liberated" non-Muslim minorities from their dhimmi status and granted them better education and security. Israel became tarred with the brush of imperialism after the Suez Crisis in 1956 when Israel joined forces with Britain and France to invade Egypt. Further politicization followed when Israel became an "occupying" power after the Six-Day War in 1967. Beginning in the 1950s, Western intellectuals were so bewitched by Third Worldism that when Tunisian-Jewish writer Albert Memmi moved to France, he was astonished to have been almost congratulated by left-wingers for having been born in a country where racism did not exist. Dhimmi-denial was mirrored in the attitudes of white Southerners who thought of themselves as upholding Christian values and even "high civilization." After losing the cause of slavery in the American Civil War, they went to considerable lengths to praise slavery's "benevolent features." The master-slave relationship, they said, was amicable: "The only bonds were those of tender understanding, trust and loyalty." Pollack and Norwood argue that the "happy darkey" myth provided Southerners with a foundation to justify their "lost cause," just as Arabs use the...Read More Bestselling Arabic novel: "Jews are revolting and malicious worms that must be disposed of immediately" noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 24 Sep 01:00 PM Author Ahmed Khaled Mustafa wrote a book called "Antichristos" in 2015. It became a best seller in Egypt and elsewhere. It is pure Jew-hatred. The book is summarized here. The writer Ahmed Khaled Mustafa intended his novel to be a true historical document that combines facts and fiction in a beautiful narrative form. The novel centers on Bobby Frank, a wealthy Jewish character who belongs to a class of ultra-rich Jews, who is killed in mysterious circumstances by two young Jewish men from the same neighborhood.... This novel tells historical events related to Judaism and Freemasonry and their control of the world. Roxelana the Jewish woman who was in the palace of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and her success in threatening the Ottoman Empire internally, as well as the story of Harut and Marut and their planning of Judaism on the world and their ability to control the minds of young people. The writer used in his novel a set of images and non-exaggerated metaphors that serve...Read More 09/24 Links Pt1: The Moral Perverseness of Democrats' Foreign Policy Priorities; How Many Dead Jews Will Satisfy the Squad?; Iran foreign minister vows to eliminate Zionism at UN anti-racism conference noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 24 Sep 11:00 AM From Ian: Josh Hammer: The Moral Perverseness of Democrats' Foreign Policy Priorities In the aftermath of President Joe Biden's disastrously executed withdrawal from the Afghan backwater, that would have translated to $400 million directly subsidizing the Taliban. That's the same Taliban-run Afghan government that, as FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted to Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) during a Senate hearing earlier this week, counts eponymous Haqqani network member Siraj Haqqani as its interior minister. Haqqani remains wanted by the FBI, and there is a $10 million bounty for his capture. Some Democrats would apparently rather fund Haqqani's government than protect innocent Jewish, Arab and Christian lives in the Holy Land using state-of-the-art missile defense technology. Indeed, many Democrats would presumably still rather send amorphous "humanitarian aid" to Afghanistan which, due to ubiquitous venality, would of course just subsidize the Taliban, than fund the inherently defensive Iron Dome system. That is, quite simply, perverse. But at this point, it also should not be surprising. For years during the Obama administration, Democrats embarked on a broader Middle East-centric foreign policy realignment crusade by which the U.S. would create distance between itself and its formerly staunch Israeli and Sunni Arab allies, and cozy up to Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood...Read More Latest poll shows most Palestinians STILL support terror as their preferred "solution" noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 24 Sep 09:00 AM A new Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research poll has been released, and it shows yet again that Palestinians support terror against Israelis. When asked about support for specific policy choices where they could choose more than one policy, 54% supported return to armed confrontations and intifada. When asked about their preferred way out of the current status quo, only 28% said "reaching a peace agreement with Israel" a plurality of 39% prefer waging "an armed struggle against the Israeli occupation." When asked what they think is "the most effective means of ending the Israeli occupation," a huge plurality of 48% chose armed struggle, compared to 28% who prefer negotiations. If Israeli courts expel the illegal Arab squatters in Sheikh Jarrah, 60% say that Hamas should respond with rockets towards Israeli civilian population centers. More evidence of Palestinian preference for violence: 46% believe the lesson that the Palestinians should learn from what happened in Afghanistan is that they should strengthen terror groups ("the forces of armed resistance.") This is all very damning. It destroys the narrative that Western media try to create. Which is why you won't read about it in AP or the New York Times. * * * * * * ...Read More Uber-liberal Seattle city council defeats bill to end training with Israeli police noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 24 Sep 07:00 AM There was some great news this week that didn't get much attention. In June, Seattle councilmember Kshama Sawant introduced a bill to end all cooperation with Israeli law enforcement, under the banner "End Deadly Exchange," the monicker used by Israel haters for US police training with their Israeli counterparts. The "End Deadly Exchange" campaign was joined by about 60 community groups, many of them virulently anti-Israel. These included the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Northwest BDS Coalition, the Rachel Corrie Foundation, Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow. It was also supported by the teachers' union for the Seattle public schools. They heavily lobbied City Council; with dozens of supporters calling and meeting with councilmembers in support of the bill, officially called CB120142. Jewish and Zionist groups, while not as well organized, did their own lobbying against the bill, meeting with councilmembers. These included the ADL, StandWithUs, the American Jewish Committee and the local Jewish Federation. The bill was amended a number of times and finally came up for review in the City Council meeting this past Monday - hours before the Sukkot holiday. Most of the speakers calling in supported the bill - and many identified themselves as Jewish. Even so, the Jewish lobbying paid off. Seattle's City Council, representing one of the most far Left cities in the US, whose members are comprised of...Read More    ©2021 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
