March 7, 1898: July 29, 1903: August 9, 1907, articles from Casablanca and Mazagan: But besides that, I'm sure the Arabs respected their Jewish residents. After all, they keep telling that to us. * * * * * * ...Read More The US establishing a consulate in Jerusalem for Palestinians would violate international law noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Oct 02:30 PM The Jerusalem Post reports: The American intention to open a consulate in Jerusalem for the Palestinians is shaking the foundations of the current Israeli coalition. Foreign Minister Yair Lapid brought that message with him to the United States this week, as did Bennett in August when he met with Biden at the White House. Both explained that the American insistence to open the consulate will likely seal the fate of the government and bring it to an end. Coalition members like Ayelet Shaked have already warned their colleagues that if a consulate opens in Jerusalem, they will leave the coalition. "This will bring down the government," one top minister told me this week, "and we have explained that to the Americans." But the Americans are refusing to budge. Biden seems determined to press ahead with the consulate, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken repeated this commitment on Wednesday when he said that the US plans on "moving forward with the process of opening a consulate as part of deepening of those ties with the Palestinians." Why does the US insist on opening a consulate in Jerusalem and not Ramallah? The only possible reason is that the US is claiming that east Jerusalem is Palestinian territory. Since Israel considers it Israeli territory...Read More 10/17 Links: On The Theatrics Of Inversion: How Indigenous People Became 'Settlers'; Sally Rooney's nonsensical anti-Israel statement; Katie Couric Wasn't the First: FDR, Truman and the Jews noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 17 Oct 12:00 PM From Ian: Anti-Zionism is inherently antisemitism - opinion Ultimately, that is what "anti-Zionism" is. Instead of visiting or residing in Israel, one is welcome to prefer a vacation in Saudi Arabia – and please don't forget to bring home some sand for the kids. No one has to like people who write from right to left, who have emergency medical vehicles with red Stars of David instead of red crescents or red crosses painted on the ambulances. But to be "anti-Zionist?" That's like being anti-kosher. Anti-matzo. Because, when it comes down to it, Zionism actually is a core part of the very definition of a Jew. That is why "anti-Zionism" always is pure antisemitism. No one reasonable denies the Italian love for Venice, the French love for Paris, the British love for London, or the Spanish love for Barcelona. Even amid the COVID pandemic, expatriates' hearts and minds remain fixed on lands of heritage. To deny only Jews that simple human yearning shared by all others is to manifest something much deeper than a mere disagreement over where ice cream should be sold or fictional works should be translated. It is to be an antisemite.On The Theatrics Of Inversion: How Indigenous People Became 'Settlers' Two days ago, activist JB Brager of the deceptively-named 'Jewish Voice...Read More Antisemitism unites the Right and the Left - for Palestinians noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Oct 10:00 AM It has been long long recognized that the extreme Right and the extreme Left in the US disagree on everything - except their antisemitism. For Palestinians, it is the same thing - but there is no "extreme" about it. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is holding a celebration today for the 20th anniversary of the assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi. The PFLP and its offshoots the DFLP, PFLP-GC and others are Marxist and their terrorists like Leila Khaled are the darlings of the anti-Israel Left. Yet during the Second Intifada, the PFLP coordinated terror attacks on Jewish civilians together with Hamas and Islamic Jihad - both of them Islamist organizations whose values are polar opposites to Marxism. Their philosophies could not be more different, but they share something far more fundamental than mere politics: both sides hate Jews, and therefore they are allies. Even today, they coordinate their activities in Gaza for fighting Israel. The divide between Right and Left simply doesn't exist when they both share their belief in antisemitism. Even more amazing is that the socialist Left in the West does not seem to have any real philosophical problem with far Right, Islamist terror groups in the Middle East. This goes to absurd lengths, such as when far Left icon...Read More The UN Human Rights Council is obsessed with condemning Israel - and @HRW's Ken Roth wants to keep it that way noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 17 Oct 07:15 AM Here is a chart (based on a database at UN Watch) of how often every country has been condemned at the United Nations Human Rights Council since it was formed in 2006. Israel is condemned more than the next four-most condemned countries, combined. Israel is the only country to be condemned every single year. Israel has never been condemned less than five times in any year. Some of the world's worst human rights abusers - China, Russia, Turkey, Cuba, Egypt, Saudi Arabia - have never been condemned once. In short, the UNHRC is a cesspool whose members are human rights abusers themselves that protect each other while incessantly attacking Israel. The Trump administration properly withdrew from this travesty of an organization. The Biden administration has just re-joined. At the State Department, the spokesperson was asked why, and couldn't come up with a coherent explanation, although he said the US will oppose the the UNHRC's bias against Israel, with its only standing agenda item targeting a single country. Enter modern antisemite Ken Roth. His response to the US re-joining the UNHRC, partially to try to stop its anti-Israel obsession was this: The US government complains that it doesn't like a UN Human Rights Council agenda item focused solely on Israel...Read More    ©2021 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
