| US, UK pro-Palestinian politicians Imani Oakley and Thelma Walker believe there is a Chief Rabbi in Gazanoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 05 Dec 05:45 A | | The New York Post reported this weekend that the campaign of Imani Oakley, an anti-Israel Congressional candidate in New Jersey, fell for a hoax where they believed that "Rabbi Linda Goldstein," a brilliant parody account of woke Jewish Israel-haters, reached out for the candidate to speak at her wholly fictional synagogue in Gaza, in person or virtually. Oakley's campaign took offense that they were duped - claiming that they weren't duped and were simply "vetting" the "rabbi". There is not one Jew in Gaza, let alone a synagogue-full. No Jews have lived in Gaza (except for a hostage) since 2005 - during Oakley's entire adult life. Anyone who claims to be "pro-Palestinian" who doesn't know this basic fact is disqualified from giving any opinions about the Middle East. But Oakley pretends to be the victim here, and tries to play the "woman of color" card - to justify her ignorance. Proving that Oakley is ignorant about a topic she pretends to know about is a "dirty political tactic?" No, it is what reporters should be doing, but they shy away because....she is a woman of color, and treating a women of color as skeptically as they would treat a white male is now considered racist and sexist. Oakley's ignorance is not an anomaly. It is typical among the "pro-Palestinian" crowd. They learn everything they know from propaganda, so they think there are Jewish settlers in...Read More |
From Ian: How Israeli intel saved hundreds of US soldiers from Iranian attacks Amid growing tensions between the US and Israel over Israeli intelligence-gathering systems, a new report highlights the Israeli security intel community's role in saving the lives of hundreds of American soldiers. Last month, the US Commerce Department announced that it had blacklisted two Israeli companies closely linked to the Israeli government. The two firms, NSO Group and Candiru, were accused of providing spyware to foreign governments which "used these tools to maliciously target" reporters, activists, and embassy employees, harming US interests. According to a report by Yediot Aharanoth Friday morning, the blacklisting came as a shock to Israeli intelligence and security officials, who expressed dismay at subsequent meetings over what they perceived as a broader campaign by the Biden administration to rein in clandestine operations by Israel. One Israeli official who participated in one such meeting this week called the Biden administration's behavior 'ingratitude', citing the role of Israeli intelligence in saving American soldiers on multiple occasions, Yediot Aharanoth reported. "I think that until we understand what we did [wrong], if anything, to cause them [the Americans] to behave the way they're behaving, we should respond in a similar manner. We need to notify them that we have no idea why Israeli actions...Read More |
From Ian: Jonathan Tobin: Is it Islamophobic to call out Ilhan Omar for antisemitism? The Democratic leadership has lined up behind Omar with a statement accusing Boebert of Islamophobia and racism, in addition to a demand that Republicans condemn "bigoted members of their conference." Even if we concede that making remarks about a Congress member being a potential suicide bomber – as well as speaking of a "Jihad Squad" and then boasting about it in public is inflammatory, rude and un-parliamentary behavior – the notion that Omar is nothing more than an innocent victim of a smear is chutzpah on steroids. More to the point, this incident was made possible not just by Boebert's penchant for insults but by the failure of the Democratic caucus to discipline Omar and her fellow "Squad" member, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), for their open antisemitism and extremism. Omar is the darling of the left because she is an immigrant, a woman of color and, as the headscarf-wearing first Muslim woman in Congress, a symbol of diversity. But she is also someone who accused AIPAC and the Jewish community of buying Congress ("It's all about the Benjamins, baby"). She and Tlaib are also open supporters of the antisemitic BDS movement that targets Jews and seeks the elimination of the one Jewish state on the planet. They have embraced the "apartheid state" lie about Israel and sought to...Read More |
But how can you do a parody of "Sweet Caroline" without the iconic "Bah Bah Buhhhh"?
Also, Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin have been releasing a new cover of songs by Jewish artists every night of Chanukah. Most of them do not have overtly Jewish content, but their cover of the Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop includes video of old Bar Mitzvahs.
And it rocks. * * * * * *

From Ian: Dr. Martin Sherman: You couldn't make this up!! Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad—Anonymous ancient dictum—misattributed to Euripides. Israel is a country of many paradoxes and colliding opposites—many of which make it one of the most fascinating and dynamic countries on the face of the globe; a country that has overcome almost impossible odds to drive its way to the forefront of virtually every realm of human endeavor—including medicine, agriculture, cybertechnology, arts, and entertainment—with the jarring exception of the functioning of its body-politic. "Incentivizing the murder of civilians is barbarism." This is particularly true regarding the paradox embedded in Israel's perverse, perilous and puerile approach to what has become known as "the Palestinian problem". Indeed, it would be no exaggeration to state that it is a patently self-contradictory policy, in which certain elements thereof manifestly contradict and annul other elements of it. Thus, in 2018, Israel passed a law—with disconcerting reluctance—mandating the reduction of payments to the Palestinian Authority (PA) by deducting a sum equivalent to the amount the PA pays to imprisoned terrorists and the families of deceased terrorists, killed while perpetrating acts of terror. This legislation reflected a compelling rationale that Israelis should not be complicit in compensating their Judeocidal Arab assailants...Read More |
There was a large funeral in Gaza on Thursday for Diaa Al-Dahdouh. Islamic Jihad issued a flowery statement about how wonderful the terrorist was: We count our martyr as one of the distinguished Mujahideen who prayed and toured in resistance and giving and had the imprint and impact on the project of resistance and liberation. We pray to Allah Almighty to bless the Mujahid Al-Dahdouh with the vastness of his mercy and dwell in his vast gardens, accompanied by the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs, and the good of those are companions, and to inspire his family, relatives and companions with beautiful patience and solace. How did this hero die? He blew himself up a year and a half ago while building a bomb, and finally succumbed to his wounds. May Gaza see many, many more such martyrs. Ameen. * * * * * *

The "foreign ministry" for the nonexistent "State of Palestine" has celebrated the fake Miss Universe Greece for pretending that she rejected being a contestant for a pageant that she was never invited to.
Rafaela Plastira claimed in October that she was boycotting the Miss Universe contest in Eilat. As Israellycool has been reporting, the official Miss Universe organization in Greece denied that she was ever Miss Universe Greece. Rafaela Plastira is Star Hellas 2019 and is her only title, she never had the official anointing to represent our country in MISS UNIVERSE 2021, as MISS UNIVERSE GREECE.
The official MISS UNIVERSE GREECE for 2021 is Sofia Arapogiannis, announced by Miss Universe 2021 and is the crowned of the GS HELLAS NATIONAL CULTURES entitled MISS GS HELLAS 2021.
I would like to inform all Greeks, that now, the national organization GS HELLAS, is the one who preserves the legal rights and contracts for Greece's representative, but also its participation in Miss Universe 2021. Everything else is false, unsolicited and cunningly alleged misinformation. Plastira, who was Miss World Greece in 2019, has been falsely claiming...Read More |
