| Al Aqsa preacher warns of the existential danger of Jewish children visiting the Temple Mountnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 26 Nov 05:45 AM At this | | At this time, Palestinian society is extremely worried about Jewish schoolchildren.Israel is considering encouraging schools to go on field trips to the Temple Mount, and Palestinian media has been talking about it non-stop. On Thursday, the main preacher at Al Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, issued a statement today about how Jewish schoolchildren visiting Judaism's most sacred place is somehow an existential danger Al Aqsa mosque.
Warning: extreme hyperbole alert. The preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, warned today, Thursday, of an "existential danger" threatening the blessed mosque, as it was transformed into a lawless intrusion arena for students of settlement schools, as part of their compulsory tours. Sabri said that the occupation's transformation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque into a shrine for settlement schools is an attempt to promote the Jewish character of Jerusalem and end the Islamic landmarks in it. He added that the occupation wants to make Jerusalem the capital of the Jews, and accordingly it completes its procedures with the purely Jewish characteristics to say that Jerusalem is...Read More |
From Ian: Hitler Intended to Eradicate the Jews of the Middle East As German historians Klaus-Michael Mallmann and Martin Cüppers have detailed, Rauff carried out a "reign of terror" against Tunisian Jews that included conscripting 5,000 for forced labour. But with shipping to Europe under constant attack, Rauff could not carry out the larger SS plan to send Tunisia's Jews to death camps in Europe. The Nazis' intentions to carry the war against the Jews beyond Europe never wavered. Ultimately, though, defeat at El Alamein turned the tables and kept the SS from carrying out its plans. Yet leaving north Africa and the Middle East out of Holocaust history has erased the suffering of many of the Nazis' victims and obscured the full significance of the victory at El Alamein. Early in 2021, I received an email from the scientist Michael Bevan, son of Lance Corporal John Bevan of the Second New Zealand Division, who fought and was taken prisoner at El Alamein. "My father always thought they were fighting to preserve the British empire," he wrote, which for "a colonial was not a high priority." Only in the winter of 1945 in Germany, when as a prisoner of war his father saw female slave labourers building an airfield, did he fully grasp "the evils he had fought to contain". Therefore, the soldier's son went on, understanding how the Eighth Army "established the El Alamein line...Read More |
From Hasbara Fellowships: Hasbara Fellowships Canada is demanding that the University of Toronto at Scarborough (UTSC) intervene after its student union (SCSU) voted to eliminate funding for student groups that support Israel. At its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, Nov. 24, the SCSU passed its second motion in support of the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. A subsection of the original motion passed in 2013 now requires that any kosher food brought to campus must come from an organization that does not support "Israeli apartheid." The subsection states that if Jewish students cannot find such an organization, kosher food suppliers that support "Israeli apartheid" shall be granted exemptions. According to the motion, the SCSU must also "refrain from engaging with organizations, services, or take part in events that further normalize Israeli apartheid." The SCSU will now mandate that a "BDS List," which must be "accessible" to all members, is aimed at blacklisting organizations that support the Jewish State. Gabriela Rosenblum, a Hasbara Fellow at UTSC, harshly condemned the motion at last night's AGM. "This BDS vote undoes all the critical work done by this student government," she said. "This motion requires that Jews at UTSC prove that they are 'good...Read More |
Our weekly column from the humor site PreOccupied Territory. Check out their Facebook page. Ashkelon, November 25 - Activists denounced the Jewish state again today over its discriminatory attitudes and policies, in this case over the latter's refusal to operate a desalination plant just up the coast from where a Hamas-governed territory dumps untreated wastewater into the sea, a refusal that the activists say provides further evidence of Israel's view of Palestinians as "dirty" or "inferior" and therefore worthy of exploitation. Representatives of Human Right Watch, Btselem, and others from within Israel, within the Palestinian Territories, and around the world accused Israel today of racism in its handling of the millions of gallons of raw sewage that flows from the Gaza Strip into the Mediterranean, which causes Israel not to operate the desalination plant near this coastal city. The groups called on the international community to pressure Israel into reversing the decision, thereby destroying the plant and depriving its people of drinking water even when the sea remains clean. "Palestinian sewage is just a pretext for this bigoted behavior," insisted Omar Shakir of Human Rights Watch. "If anything, Israelis should be drinking that raw sewage regardless of desalination, because I don't like them and I think they should be made to suffer because...Read More |
From Ian: The UN Must Reject Palestinian Rejectionism The United Nations reserves November 29, its International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, for robust anti-Israel activity. The day's events inappropriately put the UN's thumb on the scale in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, encouraging Palestinian obstinacy by normalizing Palestinian viewpoints. November 29 marks the anniversary of the 1947 partition plan, which would have created an Arab state and a Jewish state in British Mandatory Palestine. While the Jewish leadership accepted partition, Arab leaders rejected it, setting in motion more than seven decades of bloodshed. Now, many pro-Palestinian activists have embraced Solidarity Day as a repudiation of Israel's existence. In previous years, speakers at Solidarity Day events have falsely charged one of Israel's founding fathers — David Ben-Gurion — with advocating ethnic cleansing; mendaciously accused Israel of perpetrating apartheid and ethnic cleansing; called for boycotts of Israel; and advocated a "free Palestine from the river to the sea," which is a call to ethnically cleanse the land of Jews. According to the UN, Solidarity Day provides an opportunity to focus on how the Palestinians have yet to "attain their inalienable rights," including "the right to return" to Israel, as a UN advertisement put it. Yet the Palestinian "right to return" is fictitious...Read More |
In 1966, Saudi King Faisal showed what he meant when he said he was against Zionists.
From the New York Daily News, June 23, 1966:
Saudi Arabia's King Faisal declared today, while Washington officials shuddered, that Jews throughout the world are his country's enemies. Under heavy questioning at a newspaper luncheon, the monarch finally poured out his deep feelings about the historic conflict which has divided Jews and Arabs. "Unfortunately the Jews throughout the world provide assistance to Israel . . .," he said. "We consider those who provide assistance to our enemy is our own enemy." Faisal's words, which seemed to tumble out without premeditation, triggered an immediate diplomatic rhubarb which clouded the start of his state visit to the U.S. Even while the Saudis were feting President Johnson at a glittering embassy dinner, the storm built up. And Secretary of State Dean Rusk was called to late night conferences on the fate of the king's New York visit. A spokesman said no final decision was reached immediately and meanwhile there would be no comment. The hawk-nosed king, dressed in flowing Bedouin robes, gave frank answers to questions from the audience, speaking Arabic with a State Department interpreter translating. "It has never been our objective to exterminate Israel and throw it into the sea." Faisal said. ". . . This impression has been spread around by Jewish propaganda." But he said that present Arab rulers were as determined as ever to reclaim the former...Read More |
Yesterday, Australia extended its existing ban on Hezbollah's "military wing" to the entire group, declaring all of Hezbollah a terrorist organization. Australian Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews explained that the Iran-backed Hezbollah threatens terrorist attacks and provides support to Islamic Jihad and the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, which is also considered terrorist under Australian law.
So why doesn't Australia also ban all of Hamas?
Australian National Security explains why Hamas' Al Qassam Brigades is considered a terrorist group:
Division 102 of the Criminal Code provides that for an organisation to be listed as a terrorist organisation, the Minister for Home Affairs must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that the organisation: - is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act; or
- advocates the doing of a terrorist act.
For the purposes of listing a terrorist organisation under the Criminal Code, the doing of a terrorist act includes the doing of a specific terrorist act, the doing of more than one terrorist act and the doing of a terrorist act, even if a terrorist act does not occur. As we saw...Read More |
