Gazan who entered Israel with his sick mother burned a bus, threw Molotovs at sukkot, planned major terror attacks
noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 01 Nov 04:56 AM

YNet reports that Israel's Shin Bet arrested a 29-year old Gazan on terror charges. He had been in Israel for well over a year.
Suleiman Kasab, from Khan Younis, entered Israel in January 2020 with humanitarian approval as an escort for his mother, who is suffering from a serious illness and was apparently treated in an Israeli hospital.
Kasab was in contact with the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades branch in Gaza, which he was apparently a member of in Gaza. He contacted them asking how he can be of service in performing terror attacks. According to the indictment, the terror group leader Abu Abu Saif al-Din told him to lay low, and said they would provide him with weapons and money.
Kasab hid in the mixed Arab-Jewish town of Ramle.
Correspondence between the terrorist and his Gaza mentor on the Signal app showed that they discussed many potential attacks, including blowing up fuel tanks at a kibbutz to cause many deaths, shooting attacks, and abducting and killing a Jew in order to use the body for bargaining to release prisoners.
It seems that Kasab became impatient and decided to start an arson spree in Ramle. He set a bus on fire, and then he threw a series of firebombs at residents' sukkot, spraying graffiti that "Fatah was here."

When Israel haters claim that Israel is blocking people from Gaza from traveling to Israel, they don't care about the fact that there is a history of terror attacks perpetrated by...Read More

Book review: Bad News: How Woke Media is Undermining Democracy
noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 31 Oct 02:30 PM

I've had my share of disagreements with Batya Ungar-Sargon, most notably when she was Opinion Editor of The Forward. But she has been outspoken about the dangers of the current far-Left "woke" movement, and I've had some reasonable private discussions with her, so I bought her brand new book to see what she has to say.

Bad News: How Woke Media is Undermining Democracy is centered around two themes. The primary one is that the media has swallowed the woke narrative, specifically that everything must be viewed through the prism of race.
Ungar-Sargon traces the history of modern journalism through the lens of the New York media world since the 1820s, noting the divide between the media that catered to the upper classes and the newspapers that were aimed at the working class, derided by the traditional media as "sensationalistic." She contrasts the New York World and the New York Sun with the founding of the New York Times, which was explicitly aimed at the rich. She shows that the NYT continues with that mission today, using even digital media to aim at the most wealthy people and those who aspire to join them. Local news and stories about ordinary working class Americans are given short shrift...Read More

10/31 Links: Why are so many Americans taking the side of groups that work with terrorists?; The Moral Incoherence of an Academic Boycott Against Israel
noreply@blogger.com (Ian), 31 Oct 12:00 PM

From Ian:

Rushing to defend terrorism-linked NGOs: Why are so many Americans taking the side of groups that work with terrorists?

In light of the wealth of publicly available information linking these NGOs to the PFLP, multiple financial institutions have previously closed accounts and denied payment services. For instance, in 2018, Citibank and Arab Bank closed DCI-P accounts, and Visa, Mastercard and American Express shut down online credit card donations to Al-Haq and UAWC.

European governments and institutions have also expressed concern that their funds were being diverted by these terror-linked actors. In August 2021, the EU opened a preliminary investigation into its financial support to PFLP-linked Palestinian NGOs, and the EU's anti-fraud mechanism, OLAF, has also launched an investigation. Similarly, the Dutch government froze support to UAWC and initiated an outside audit.

By defending the Palestinian NGOs, some of which may be implicated in murder, groups like HRW, IfNotNow and others undermine the basic human dignity they claim to so greatly cherish. They also prevent terrorist NGOs from facing proper accountability. Their impulsiveness can be attributed either to blind reverence to Palestinian NGOs, or worse, intentionally ignoring the facts that do not accord with their political priorities.

Caution and self-reflection...Read More

In the end, it is never about "human rights" or "apartheid" - it is about desire for bloody vengeance for Jews beating Arabs in wars
noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 31 Oct 09:45 AM

There has been a huge uproar in the Arab world over the statements of a Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi saying that the seven-year war by Arab Gulf states against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen in "absurd" and that the Houthis are "defending themselves … against an external aggression."

One criticism against Kordahi in a Palestinian news site conflates the war against the Houthis with other Arab wars, especially against Israel, as if they are one and the same long battle against non-Sunni Arabs.
The article by Sheikh Abdul Manan Al-Sunbali describes why these wars are not "absurd." He knows his audience - it isn't Western media or the "progressives" but his own fellow Arabs who share his anger and shame.

Sunbali uses the pure language of shame and vengeance that reveals the real reason most Arabs hate the Jews:

It is a war to restore the Arab dignity lost for more than seventy years!

It is a war of proving and confirming the Arab identity and rooting it anew in the hearts of Arab youth!

It is a war of revenge for the defeats of 48 and 67 and the victory for the values ​​and history of the Arab and Islamic...Read More

Where's the outrage from the Left over the alleged Iranian leak of Israeli LGBTQ information?
noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 31 Oct 07:00 AM

Times of Israel reports:

Hackers believed to be linked to Iran have breached an Israeli internet hosting company, taking down several of its sites. The hackers on Saturday night released some alleged personal information online, including from an LGBT dating site, according to Hebrew media reports.

"Atraf," a geo-located dating service as well as a nightlife index, is a popular app and website in the Israeli LGBT community, especially in the Tel Aviv area.

According to Hebrew media sites, names of "Atraf" users and their locations were posted online. The data leak had worried users it could expose those still in the closet.

Anti-Zionists and anti-Israel groups generally try to link their hate with more broad Leftist causes. But they have been completely silent over the potential danger to Israeli gays and their privacy being leaked by presumed Iranian hackers. Those that are still in the closet, especially those who come from religious families, are anguished over the news. (Reports say that the hosting company for the information was very lax in its security posture.)

The only mention I can find from the anti-Israel crowd is the supposition by...Read More
