I think that Horn is rather like Ruth Wisse, only younger. And, it is no accident that they are both steeped in Yiddish literature and Jewish sacred texts. In addition, both are supremely literary Ladies—Grand Dames, really. Please understand who exactly is being overwhelmed here. And overjoyed, because Horn is almost half my age. In her hands, the work of truth-telling against all odds, continues. By 2000-2001, I was already writing The New Anti-Semitism and have proudly been seen as a traitor in certain circles ever since I published it in 2003. In lectures, I'd ventured the idea that Jewish deaths have long been worshipped as "redemptive" by Christians—but, like Horn, I was also made uneasy by the unsettling reverence that Jewish people manifested when they visited Holocaust exhibits. In 2006, I published "How a Holocaust Happens," a piece in which I wrote: "As dangerous as Holocaust denial is, Holocaust Memorialization may also function as a form of denial…it may allow us the luxury—and the consolation—of assuming that the 'worst' has already happened. Alas, this may not be true. Certain intellectuals, Jews among them, attempt to hide...Read More "Normalization is a crime against the Islamic Ummah" noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 05 Oct 03:00 PM From Iran's IQNA: Prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Isa Qassem condemned Bahraini government's steps to normalize ties with the Israeli regime as a crime against the Islamic Ummah. "What will you write in history about the opening of the embassy of the occupying regime and the visit of the Zionist foreign minister Lapid to Bahrain and the welcome of the Bahraini rulers except the government's shame and crime against Islam, the Islamic Ummah and the people of Bahrain? And what gap this will create between the government and people?" tweeted the top cleric. For once, it isn't Israel committing the "crime" - but nations normalizing relations with Israel. Given that Israel has relations with 164 nations, that is a lot of criminal activity. * * * * * * ...Read More Recent articles in Arabic consistently accept the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" as true noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 05 Oct 01:00 PM A century after the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" was proven to be a hoax, Arabic media continues to believe that they are true. All of these articles are from within the past month. Egypt's popular Seventh Day news site celebrated the birthday of the first person to translate the Protocols into Arabic. Iraq's Kitabat quotes them as an aside in an article on political money to prove the point that controlling the media and money is a decisive factor in politics. An Amman news site says that one should not believe the "Pandora Papers" accusations against Jordan's King Abdullah because the media is under Zionist control, as the Protocols prove. A Jordanian writer...Read More 10/05 Links Pt1: UN prevented Erdan from displaying pro-Hitler posts by UNRWA teacher; Global Media and Leaders Tacitly Accept Palestinian Authority-Backed Violence noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 05 Oct 11:00 AM From Ian: UN prevented Erdan from displaying pro-Hitler posts by UNRWA teacher UN security personnel stopped Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan from bringing a display poster into the General Assembly on Monday showing a social-media post by a UNRWA teacher that glorified Hitler. "I see it as a very dangerous precedent here, preventing my freedom of expression, preventing my freedom of speech and hiding the truth from the UN," Erdan said during his public speech to the UNGA. He had meant to display the post during a discussion on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees so that he could illustrate his concern about the problem of incitement in UNRWA schools. Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan decrying the UN's prevention of his display of pro-Hitler posts by an UNRWA teacher, October 4, 2021. "I am shocked because I brought here with me a photo of a UNRWA teacher's post glorifying the most horrific mass murderer in history, Adolf Hitler," Erdan said. "Unfortunately, shockingly, I was prevented from bringing in this photo in order to share this proof with the other distinguished ambassadors here." UN protocol prevents ambassadors from using props when delivering speeches, a UN representative told The Jerusalem Post. However, heads of state who speak during the high-level opening sessions that take place...Read More 83 years ago: A massacre at Tiberias, Arabs murder 19 Jews - 11 of whom were children noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 05 Oct 09:00 AM From the October 3, 1938 Boston Globe: Wikipedia adds: Arab rioters killed 19 Jews in Tiberias, 11 of whom were children. During the massacre, 70 armed Arabs set fire to Jewish homes and the local synagogue. In one house a mother and her five children were killed. The old beadle in the synagogue was stabbed to death, and another family of 4 was killed. A representative of the British mandate reported that: "It was systematically organized and savagely executed. Of the nineteen Jews killed, including women and children, all save four were stabbed to death." The targets weren't the Haganah or even "Zionists" - Tiberias was settled by Jews multiple times before modern Zionism. The targets were Jews - Jewish families, Jewish women, Jewish children, and a synagogue. The massacre seems to have been the handiwork of Abu Ibrahim al-Kabir, a disciple of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. Al-Kabir is still considered a hero to Palestinians - here is a Fatah page dedicated to him that compliments him on a 1932 bombing in Nahalal that killed a Jewish father and son. Here's a video praising him that includes a song in his honor. Palestinian nationalism and antisemitism...Read More Iraqi newspaper makes up lies, claims Israeli who saved Iraqi Jewry "admitted" to bombing synagogues noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 05 Oct 07:00 AM A pernicious Arab lie has been published, slandering an Israeli Jewish hero. From Iraq's Annabaa: On September 19, 2021, Mr. Ghassan Al-Attiyah published an exciting article on his Facebook page, under the title "Death of the Farhud Organizer." The post was topped by a phrase for Al-Attiyah saying, "Thank you to those who provided me with this information." And it was stated in it, that Shlomo Hillel, an Iraqi Jew, who died recently at the age of 97, was a resident of Baghdad and immigrated to Israel and later returned in disguise to carry out a very dirty mission that targeted the security of Iraqi Jewish citizens, by inciting mobs and planting bombs in synagogues to intimidate the people and push them to immigrate to Israel. Unfortunately, these actions led to casualties and entered the history of contemporary Iraq in the name of "the Jews' Farhud"! Al-Attiyah quotes a confession by Shlomo Hillel in his book "Operation Babel" and he says frankly that the Iraqis are innocent of this issue and that it was orchestrated by him with an entire team, including the Israeli Defense Minister in the June 1967 war, Moshe Dayan...The publication also stated that Jewish Iraqi writers, including the poet Ibrahim Obadiah and Professor Shmuel Moreh-Sami, confess in books and diaries the innocence of Iraqis from the Farhud events. Shlomo Hillel did die this year. That is the only accurate sentence in this article. Hillel was...Read More    ©2021 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
